I like this video! It's very straight forward and makes it look like someone like me might actually be able to do this! (I just watched another video for this and they took the entire door panel off!) But you give me confidence; I just hope I can do it successfully!
Sadly, I realized that the mirrors on my truck are power mirrors, so I'm afraid I might have to do the whole "taking off the door panel" thing. Actually, the fold-in/fold-out hasn't worked in the 2 years I've had the truck, and it'd be nice to have that work, but I sure do like the electronic adjusting feature. Anyway, I'd love it if I'm wrong and don't have to do the more complicated process but I have little hope.
Great video! Saved a lot of money doing myself after watching the video. I ordered an OEM mirror from Amazon. My advice is to save and reuse the original nuts as the washer is bigger on the original
After reading some comments below, appears that many Chevys don't have the mirror connector in that nice handy place like yours. So you will have to take the door panel off. :( Or, I guess you could do a bunch of splicing. ;) ;)
Hey I replaced today on driver side after storm damage. At AutoZone they only had one with heated mirror also. Saw mirror was cracked so I’m waiting another. My question is since it’s heated(of cost a little more) should the heated aspect of it work with my 2001 1500? Connection fit and motor worked. Original was not heated
I think in this video he’s removed the mirrors before, cause my mirror cables are attached to the door w other small clips. So unless you’ve messed w it before and have your clip right there like he does, you’re gonna have to remove the entire door panel to get to the clip for the mirrors. Definitely a lot more tedious.
So I have a 2016 chevy Silverado, and I got some newer mirrors, my question: Do I have to remove the door panels to remove, and replace the mirror? (I got some aftermarket ones that are compatible with my truck, features and all, and it comes with everything needed the install, the long screws, the electrical wire, etc.
After you take of the triangle plastic part are you able to disconnect the wiring or does the wire lead down into the door with no place to easily disconnect?
Hello I appreciate your help very easy to understand within the first few seconds of watching your vid but im an import owner and im trying to fix an American car for the first time is there a difference between your Chevy/GM and the 06 Silverado? Thanks!
When I removed my mirror it doesn’t have the clip to disconnect from the door panel to mirror it just has the wire from the door going into the mirror what do I do
I am not really sure, just make sure whatever you disconnect you remember where to re connect it later. Have you had any luck yet? Thanks for watching!
Hmm my mirror does not have the male and female connection like this one my cord goes straight into the inside of the mirror case and down into the door pannel
Finally a video where the guy takes his time and explains how to complete the job so that you can understand what is going on. Thank you
This is why I love older cars and trucks. Everything is so simple.
Thanks. You prevented me destroying my inside covers and having to hear about it all during dinner.
Right to the point! So rare these days 🤠
GREAT video! Worked perfect for me on my 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500LS. Thank you!
I can't wait to do this on my 03 Silverado manual mirror. No power cable necessary. Easier job thanks to you too.
Thanks! Looks like an easier job than I thought it was gonna be!
Glad to help Jake! Thanks for watching!

That's one of my goals, to explain it well enough that anyone can do it themselves. I'm glad I gave you confidence, how did it go?

So what ended up happening?
Jenny Drumm Doesn’t work for a 2007. You do have to take the door panel off

Great tip! Thanks for watching and I am glad to be of help!
Great video! I was afraid I was going to have to remove the door panel to R&R the mirror. Good news!
Got mine loose, but the wires do not just plug in, near as I can tell. Looks like they disappear behind the door panel. :( Any ideas??

Easy enough and worked like a hot damn! Thanks my dude! 🤘
Thank you, easy as pie. You made it look simple thank you
No problem Gavin, happy to help!
Thanks man I appreciate your time and help. Very easy to understand! 👍👍
That's what I was going for, I'm glad to help!
Really helpful! This was definitely useful to reference while fixing my truck mirror!
Easily done, NKY DY! Good tip about the prongs and wrench. First time DIY-ers should definitely watch this.
Thank you very much!!
Thx the video helped me a lot

Thanks for the video 👌
This was quite helpful for my 2003 Chevy Silverado. Thanks a lot!
I'm glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Great Work
Nice and simple. Thanks!
You bet! Thanks for the view!

@@NKYDIY my wire leads down into the door. Which means you have to take the damn door panel off so this video is not going to help. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I'm really not sure the answer to this question. Best of luck to you!

I am not really sure, just make sure whatever you disconnect you remember where to re connect it later. Have you had any luck yet? Thanks for watching!
Does it work the same way on a 2012 Chevy Tahoe?
Thanks for sharing your video 👍
Anytime! I appreciate the view!
I have a 2007 silverado--everything is good except the wire connection is back under the door panel--how do I get to it?
Where do you buy this side mirror glass?
How can I know if I have a heated mirror or not? 2006 Chevy Silverado. It has little connection cables to the back of the mirror
Well make sure you get a mirror that matches up with whatever outlets your model has.
Hey NKY DIY would I be able 2 replace my regular side mirror with the one that has the turning signal arrow?
I mean if the inside looks the same with the same holes then I don't see why not.....
Would this work on a 04 yukon xl?
Thank you
Hmm my mirror does not have the male and female connection like this one my cord goes straight into the inside of the mirror case and down into the door pannel
Would this work on a 2008?
I'm not really sure...take it apart and see if it looks the same....
2005 Escalade work?
There are so many mirrors to pick from. Is the factory part number on the stock mirror anywhere?
Best just to look up exactly make model on ebay and go from there.
Thanks
Thank you, I just got quoted 300 bucks for them to do this lol
Great job, thank you!
No problem, I'm glad youtube brought you here!
looks easy enough I'll tray it
That's why I make the videos, glad to help!
Cool, to the wrecking yard I go.
Dont have electric mirrors but still very helpful
Good, I'm glad I could help!
I hope my 2013 power mirror is this easy..
Aren't you adorable, Thanks!
No problem! Thanks for the view!
Is it this easy on a 2006?
I could not say, did you figure it out?
Thanks!
No problem!!
This is the second video I've seen that had that 3rd nut that was missing lol
Ha! Maybe not a coincidence?
@@NKYDIY aha ! Maybe not!!🤔🤔
2013 Silverado harness is in the door, unfortunately.
That is no bueno amigo. Did you get it replaced?
Too bad the 09s aren't this easy.
The newer they get, the more specialized and unnecessarily difficult they become to replace. Or, its inside the door panel.
Does it work the same for sierra 2006?
Sorry I'm not sure. If you find out let me know please.
