Replacement plastic for side mirror?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So, my wife managed to hit the drivers side mirror of my two month old truck on our garage door frame. Is this piece of black plastic easy to replace? What would the part number be and where might I find one? It's a '17 Denali 1500.

Thanks guys.a8eb133471493c5d42411dd47665df65.jpg

I don't believe there is a service part for this. The mirror comes complete when it's ordered, so there's isn't even a part number available for this. I'll see what I can scrape up at my dealer for you when I get to work Monday.

I would assume you need the dl3 housing because of the lamp on the bottom of the mirror. eBay for a broken mirror would probably be the cheapest.

I found one on eBay a few months ago. Not ready to find but if you look hard enough you cab find one. Also a pain to swap out. I'll add pictures when I get home to help you out.

PM just sent.

 

Awesome color by the way. Sorry about the mishap.

Just use some trim restorer on it. You'll hardly see it. Use some solution finish or even some wipe new coating on it. That is pretty minor to replace the whole thing

I'm not sure you meant minor to replace but I like your suggestion to try and restore the finish.

I think he meant it's too minor of a scratch to warrant replacing the whole mirror. I'd probably want to replace it too, but that's the OCD in me. Worth trying to restore it for sure though and see what it looks like.

Thanks for the responses guys! Yeah, if the truck wasn't so new I'd probably just touch it up, but it's my first ever new vehicle and it really burns my ass...

If your mirror was not a DL3, I would have gotten you taken care of.

This is a DL8 mirror and know the feeling. I was too lazy to get a blow dryer to heat up the stick on mirror and broke the glass trying to remove it. Since this was (what appears to be) a total loss, I started tearing it open. It seems that the housing is two parts, clam shelled together. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. If it separates easy and you can you it, its yours.

Wow, that's so incredibly kind! Yeah, I have no idea how the different mirror models vary, or which is which, but would sure like to give that a try [emoji106]

Yeah I did mean it's too minor of a scratch to warrant replacing. That probably would've been a great place use a comma or something to be more clear, but I understand the OP's feelings because I scuffed the bottom valence plastics on my truck when it was a couple months old and I felt the same way. That's also how I know the plastic treatment works! [emoji1303]

Before you go through a replacement, take a soft scotch brite pad and spray a little Wd-40 on the textured plastic and rub slightly back and forth in a straight line. That's what I do at my job to alleviate some of the scratches in textured plastic.

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
