2015 Sierra towing mirrors

[Hyker]

My truck came with towing mirrors but I recently smacked one and need to replace (cracked housing). I called a local dealer and they gave me the part number based off of the VIN, 84691670, GREAT! Dealer wants $650 for ONE mirror (not heated, not auto fold) way to much. So, I go to GM Parts Direct, enter VIN, and they don't even list my mirror.  None of the GM sites list it by VIN.  Direct search part number and it shows up. Go to dealer's site, put in make/model/year and get part 23372182. Similar, but not the same.  However, the set of TWO list at $750. This same mirror comes up on the GM Parts sites as well with make/model/year (cheaper) and only $80 more than my part and I get a set, but says a new harness is required. This set is at least heated (which is not) and I'm figuring the new harness is what's taking this into consideration.

 

So, the question is, does anyone know if this is actually a replacement? I'm kind of thinking that in true corporate America fashion, they decided to make a newer mirror backwards compatible with a different harness and save on making the older mirror?

Funny how when I go to any of the GM official sites and enter my VIN that the mirrors that are currently on my truck don't even show as an option but they pop right up when I call a dealer.

Yea very strange.  Truck is a DPN factory tow mirror truck.  84691670 is the correct # for the driver's side mirror.  You wouldn't need any wiring at all to change as its a factory tow mirror truck.

 

Also, 23372182 mirror set lists for $625 not $750.  The ones in 23372182 are the exact same ones on the truck right now, power upper glass, heated upper glass, front marker, rear facing cargo, manual fold/extend.

First off, Thanks and that's great news. Getting any info from a local dealer is nearly impossible

OK, now I have a seemingly stupid question (at least to me it sounds stupid) - What switch controls the heated upper glass? I didn't think mine has the heated option. That was where my main concern/question comes in with the 23372182.

The rear window defrost button runs the rear window and the mirrors.  All on the same swtich.

 

The 23372182 mirrors are the DPN mirrors that are already on your truck that it was built with.  They are the same exact mirror.
