RE: 07 Tahoe Driver Side Mirror
Are these the same directions for non-powerfolding mirrors?
ORIGINAL: ZX1100F1
Here's how to replace just the glass:
Position the mirror face outward on an angle with the mirror housing.

Remove the mirror face as follows: Position the hand in the center of the mirror face. Apply light pressure. Push upward releasing the motor retainers from the mirror back. Holding the mirror face, disconnect the electrical connectors from the back of the mirror.

Does any of this apply to the non-power folding mirrors that have the vibration problem?

If recycling the mirror does not fix the problem have your dealer take a look at Service Bulletin Document ID# 1852141 That reads:
Condition
Some customers may comment that the left outside mirror glass shakes or flutters at normal driving speeds.
Cause
• The mirror may have been accidentally pushed in manually or obstructed while folding.
• The mirror actuator screws may be loose, allowing the mirror to move.
• The metal spring may not have enough tension to hold the mirror from moving.
Correction
Follow the procedure below to correct this condition.
The power folding mirrors should be cycled three times to relearn position. Then perform a road test and check the mirror glass for stability. If stability is not fixed, proceed to step 2.
Remove the mirror glass. Refer to Mirror Face Replacement in SI.
Check the torque on the four retaining screws on the actuator.
Tighten
Tighten the screws to 1.13-1.6 N·m (10-14 lb in).
Bend the metal spring up to increase tension engagement to the mirror housing 13 mm (1/2 in).
Install the glass assembly by pressing firmly, taking care not to allow the spring finger to unseat from its intended track in the mirror housing. Road test the vehicle. If stability is not improved, replace the mirror assembly. Refer to Power Mirror Replacement in SI.

I'm experiencing this issue with non-power folding mirrors on my '07 Suburban - driver's side only. The earlier post about vibration getting worse after the Service Dept. took their mirror apart concerns me. Any suggestions for non-power folding mirrors?

I looked through the owners manual for the 2007 Tahoe and it states that the outside auto dimming mirror function is controlled by the auto dimming rear view mirror inside the vehicle. To turn it off you would have to turn the entire system off. I hope that helps you. You can find this information on page 167.

old thread! our driver side mirror vibrates very bad also. I am probably going to take it in to get our cracked dash replaced sometime soon. Is there any other info regarding the mirror or how to keep it from vibrating? I can't even look at it at night because the lights are all blurry and shake so much.
