01 Tahoe MirrorCW_racefan 12-22-2005, 09:23 AM LH mirror snapped off this morning when unfolding it. It's power, heated, auto dimming. Looking for replacements online, I can't find an auto dimming one. Anyone know a source for them other than the dealer ($$$$)? Anyone know if I can simply use a non-dimming one? Thanks, Craig BLUE ZL600 EFI 12-28-2005, 07:09 AM I did the same to my 01 mirror the other day. I over extended it by and it popped off. Take it apart you can fix it. It take time and patience! Make a washer type piece (cap) to re install the snap ring onto the piviot tube inside. Use a good twist or "c" clamp to press it back on. A little grease on the mating parts and your good to go. Alot cheaper than a replacement I am sure. CW_racefan 01-03-2006, 12:17 PM Blue - Was looking at the mirror over the weekend, and you're exactly correct, its the retaining ring that just popped off. I didn't have alot of time to mess with it, but how does the mirror itself come out? Looks like maybe 2 torx screws and the back (actually front) of the housing comes off, then is the mirror removeable via that opening? Thanks! Craig BLUE ZL600 EFI 01-03-2006, 01:30 PM Nope, if you are talking about the glass, it just pulls away. The whole mirror removal (which makes fixing it eaiser) comes off from the inside by removing the plactic triangle piece. I think there are two screws and a wiring harnees connecting it. If you need any other help you can email me at center86@aol.com and I'll try to help you. It really only takes 20 mins to fix including taking it off and putting it back on. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
