2001 Denali Exterior Mirrors

[hrfuld]

The heater on my RH mirror is shot, and I was able to find an entire OEM mirror with working heater on E-bay for cheap. There's a very slight scuff on the housing of this mirror so I'd like to just swap out the glass, since the existing mirror is cosmetically perfect.

Does anybody have instructions on how to swap the glass? I notice there's a series of clips situated in circle on the back of the glass, but I just don't want to start yanking on it.

Also, if anyone needs a RH mirror (and you don't care about the defogger not working or the small scuff) let me know. The insert on front is gloss black, but you can paint it any color. It's in excellent condition.

1. Inspect the components for any damage. Ensure that the mirror back and the glass sub-assembly have all the snap-fit hooks in place.
2. If the mirror has the heated feature, plug in the electrical connectors to the back of the mirror.

4. Gently press the mirror back into the adjuster mechanism with the palm of the hand on the center of the glass until it locks into place.
5. Inspect the operation of the mirror.

Hope this helps. Take care, Eggert
