changing driver door mirror Sign In
2004
GMC Yukon SLT
5.3L V8 flexfuel

The mirror on my yukon was shattered. I just got a new one (glass only) and need to install it into the existing housing. How do i remove the cap, without damaging anythig? Then is there any special way to put the new mirror on? or does it just clip? This is a motorized unit with turn signal. Thanks for any help.

  1. Adjust the mirror face as shown in the picture to obtain access to the mirror face retention clips.
  2. Position a flat-bladed tool between the back side of the mirror face and the adjuster mechanism as shown in the picture
  3. Place the blade of the tool between the gasket (1) and the adjuster mechanism (2).
  4. Slightly twist the blade of the tool while gently pulling the mirror face towards you in order to release the retainers (3).
  5. With the mirror face in hand, disconnect the electrical connectors.
  6. Remove the mirror face from the mirror housing.
  7. Inspect the adjuster mechanism for damage.

installation
  1. Inspect the components for any damage. Ensure that the mirror face has all the retention clips in place.
  2. Plug in the electrical connectors to the back of the mirror.
  3. Align the mirror face retention clips with the adjuster mechanism
  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.

Re: changing driver door mirror Sign In
Would the same instructions work if I were to replace a 2000 F150 Lariat power mirror?

Sorry, I am not sure, I have never replaced one on a Ford. I ma sure there are others here who may have that would be better able to answer that question.

And the answer is Yep. Same as above. Just look closely to be sure you see the little clips.
