Need help with how to remove the glass mirror assembly and how to replace the top half of the cover. Mine is the same color as the truck body. I cracked the black housing around the glass and want to remove the glass so that I can get inside the housing to glue it back. Dealer wants $300 to replace the whole mirror.
Thanks for any help.

You don't even need to remove the glass. Just use something to get a good grip on the upper half and pull UP (not toward the front bumper). I used a rubber jar-opener to do it when I switched out my painted ones for chrome.

Thanks sk.

I broke the black part of the mirror surround at the uoter edge(caught the edge od garage door pulling out). I can swivel the mirror inward on the outerside, bu not quite enough to be able to get my fingers in ti hold the pieces to glue back in. I was hoping the glass part of mirrior could pop out, giving me more room to work.. Just can't figure out how to get glass portion out of mirror assembly.

 

When you swapped the top half for chrome, did you break any hold-n tabs.

 

Again thanks for your reply

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
