Side Mirror Replacement

[@stefan_from_hope_bc]

3:48 For the connectors to the heating element... it really doesn't matter which one goes where, it will work either way

[@J.W_]

FYI for viewers. The actuator screw size on mine was a T10. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@prestonppratt]

Awesome. Thank you for contributing to everyone that watches.

[@kend76]

Thank you so much for the video every place I took this to told me I needed a whole new mirror assembly and you just showed me how to fix it for myself in 10 minutes with a $50 part

[@prestonppratt]

You are so welcome. I am glad you found it helpful and appreciate you sharing your story with me. Good luck on your project. Let me know how it goes.

[@fernandoramos7679]

Thanks for posting this video. I was finally able to feel confident enough to take my unbroken driverside mirror off. The heating element wouldn't get power because of corrosion on the two terminals on the backside of the mirror. I was also needing to tighten up the mirror somehow and it was those 4 screws holding in the motor to the back plastic frame of the mirror housing, that were loose.

[@prestonppratt]

That is awesome! Glad it helped you. I appreciate you taking the time to post the comment. Makes me happy knowing you were successful.

[@fernandoramos7679]

@@prestonppratt no problem, I did notice you had your mirror folded back past resting point. Does your Escalade not have power folding mirrors? I figured that would mess up the gears if I would of pushed it back like yours was in the video. I only ask because my driver side mirror is a little slower than passenger side mirror when folding in and back out.

[@prestonppratt]

It does have power folding mirrors.

[@fernandoramos7679]

@@prestonppratt I found a video that explains pushing the mirror back like you did will reset them if the sprocket and motor were seated correctly if taken off previously. I'm waiting on the rain to finally let up for a day and I'm going to take the whole mirror assembly off so I can check the sprockets and placement of the little motor of the folding mirror. Once again thank you for posting this video.

[@waynesmith68]

Can push close my power mirror

[@dreamgreenlawn]

I will only say the mirror doesn't come off extremely easy. FYI push or lift up toward to top of the mirror from one of the top corners to get it out and be patient and take your time.

[@duttenhammer]

fortunately for me mine just broke out when I hit the ditch ;)

[@BWestMrVA]

2 weeks later, I’m still trying to get the mirror off 😡

[@mrdeanv4414]

Great video and very informative...! I have a 07 Ext Escalade and the mirror on the drivers side will fold in and out and the adjustment on the right to left works however the adjustment on the up and does nothing... any ideas?

[@prestonppratt]

Interesting. You might consider popping the actual mirror out and seeing if the up and down motor control is just a loose wire. If you get in there, it might be obvious. Pretty easy to pop out. Let me know how you do!

[@mrdeanv4414]

@@prestonppratt Thank you very much.. I will give that a look..

[@1moetime123]

Why does every video start off with the mirror already removed? Show me how to do that part

[@sp00f34]

my entire mirror is loose. not just the glass. im assuming its loose on the swivel part. how do you think i can tighten it? does it need to be tightened? whats wrong with it? ps: motor OCCASIONALLY collapses with the switch in the door. 95 percent of the time it doesnt shut

[@prestonppratt]

It’s very hard to tell without more detail, but if the entire mirror is loose, you might start by taking the glass off and looking to see if anything is broken on the interior, before you purchase and replace the whole mirror assembly.

[@peteloomis8456]

How does the old mirror come off ?

[@prestonppratt]

Later in the video, I put the mirror back in by pulling down on it to snap it back in. Use the opposite technique to take it off. Push up or try to slide the mirror up. It will free the clips, and you can get it out.

[@Eedebezm1]

@@prestonppratt How do you replace the broken clips?

[@prestonppratt]

The clips are part of a plastic plate. You will have to order that new plate. I put a link the the website for parts previous. Hope this helps.

[@FulBloodHafBreedGaming]

U never showed how u put the 2 pieces together. I'm stuck 😂

[@BrandonElliotSmith]

Wish I could find a tutorial on removing the ENTIRE SIDE VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY.... Can't believe this is nowhere to be found

[@prestonppratt]

Wish I had that for you!

[@SuperHyee]

Thanks and respect !

[@يوسفعلي-ز1ه7ص]

Hi this mirror can but him in Escalade 2008 not platinum, if can tell me what I need for but him in escalade 2008

[@prestonppratt]

Recommend searching on gmpartsstore.com. They will have what you need.

[@omarvillegas7161]

The clips on my motor assembly are broke idk what part I need

[@prestonppratt]

I left links to parts in the description. You should be able to purchase the clips off the parts list.

[@rj-christinejames9233]

Where did you get the parts and what are they called. Basically the pieces you start with

[@prestonppratt]

Thanks for the comment RJ-Christine James. I updated the video notes to include the links to the parts. You can check there, but here is a cut and paste of the same information. Good luck with your repair. Here are some helpful links to the parts you will need to do the work: I ordered it from www.gmpartsstore.com. The part number is 25808705. Below is the hyperlink to the part on gmpartsstore domain. www.gmpartsstore.com/oem-parts/gm-mirror-motor-25808705 Please let me know if this works for you. I would love to hear about your success and how you are contributing to the learning community out there.

[@prestonppratt]

The schematics are not great, but If you search multiple websites for the parts, you will find they all use the same drawings. I have used them to order quite a few parts to make repairs and have never had an issue. Make sure you double check your vehicle model against what’s listed.

[@katlamb7671]

How did you get the old mirror off? Thx

[@prestonppratt]

The mirror has clips that snap in place. In the video, I put the new one in by getting it aligned and sliding it down. To get the mirror off, you slide it straight up. This will release the clips, and you can get it off.

[@rosariolaredo]

where do i get the mirror mount

[@prestonppratt]

The website and part number are listed in the description section of video. Good luck with your project!

[@rosariolaredo]

@@prestonppratt thanks 👍

You are welcome.

Hi my name is walter! And this video was so helpful thankyou! I need that for my passenger side.

[@prestonppratt]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing with me.

[@gdub14]

Would have been good to start with removing the mirror...

[@prestonppratt]

Unfortunately, mine broke off, so there wasn’t an opportunity to show the disassemble portion.

[@thishandleisalreadytaken]

@@prestonppratt Don’t worry about that guy Preston… Like me and many others, this video is very informational and is a great help so I want to thank you for that

[@prestonppratt]

@@thishandleisalreadytaken, thank you! I really appreciate the comments.

[@freddymora3942]

I been trying to buy this part from the GMparts but they will only sell me the whole assembly which is a bunch of crock. I hate this, i just need the same part you bought.

[@prestonppratt]

There are several other parts suppliers out there for you to try. It could just be an issue with the supply chain.

[@freddymora3942]

Well i was using the one you posted on the page above, not sure what is going on but the dealership wants over $400 to change everything out and i dont need the mirror replaced, just the part that holds it. @@prestonppratt

[@prestonppratt]

Wow, $400 is outrageous. You can change it out yourself. Look on the diagram for the mirror. You should be able to find the specific part you need. Find the drawing with parts. I am confident you can do it! I look forward to hearing back from you. Put a picture of your success on instagram and tag me @prestonppratt. I will be your accountability partner to get it done!

[@freddymora3942]

That is what i thought, still having trouble finding just the part but will keep trying to find a used one in a junkyard i can buy @@prestonppratt
