Extang Fulltilt bedcover. Bedrail plugs. Ebay manual fold tow mirrors (heat, power adjust, blinker, running light and backup light), and new door harnesses. Next is to have the driver and passenger door glass tinted to match the rears...Jim

Mirrors are great. Fit and finish appear factory. 4th hole was already drilled in door for mounting. Watched a video for door panel removal a few times, went great. The only issue I had was the 4 metal clips that hold the plastic trim panel on the door armrest stayed on the door panel. Had to remove from door panel and push back on the trim, every time. I had put the mirrors on before I got the harnesses. Harnesses were easy, just remove and replace. Just search ebay for '16 silverado 2500hd tow mirrors. They were $195, harnesses from gmpartsdirect (I think) were $175 shipped. No bcm reflash. If I had a complaint, it would be that when I adjust the passenger side mirror, the direction I push the button is not the direction the mirror moves. Not a huge deal. I'm used to it, and really how often do you have to adjust a mirror? Hope that helps...Jim

Been thinking about splurging and getting the tow mirrors. Chevy quoted me like 1200 installed and the mirrors aren't electrically folded in. That blew my mind. A buddy works for Chevy and told me his price for the kit is 715, not installed. I had read a few posts about the work involved with the harnesses but they were sort of old if I remember correctly. Is it more plug and play these days? I had read all sorts of stuff about...if you don't have the seat memory buttons you have to splice in additional grounds etc.

Any insight on this sort of stuff please?

$370 to do yourself. I just did it. Ebay mirrors $195 shipped. Gmpartsdirect (I think) gm harnesses $175 shipped. 3-4 hours of my time, done...Jim

Mirrors have running lights, blinkers, backup lights, heat and upper glass adjust.

No splicing at all, all plug and play. Just pay attention how the harness is ran between the glass track and inside of the door.

Just threw the OEM power folding DQS on my '17 Denali. Will be the same amount of work regardless of mirrors you put on, Yes "plug and play" but this does require you removing the door panel, opening up the plastic weather barrier sheet inside the door. Removing the existing wiring and the plugging the new harness into all the old locations. Door lock / side impact sensor / speaker / door control module / mirror & then the main plug into the door jam connector.

 

Just watch some YouTube videos and take your time! There's a guy on these forums that makes custom harnesses for a lot less than OEM but they are OEM quality and he can customize them if for example you want tow mirrors with puddle lights (not offered OEM)

 

Edit: guy's name is @pgamboa

Where did you end up getting your mirrors? Did you have to buy a new harness?

Did the backwards mirror adjust occur on the passenger side? If so, another member who bought a custom harness from me had the same issue and it was on the passenger side. Apparently, the manufacture of the mirror had the two wires for up/down, left/right circuits backwards. I walked him through flipping it and all is good.
