DIY Power Mirror Repair for a Tahoe

DIY Power Mirror Repair for a Tahoe

The side power mirror on a Chevy Tahoe can get damaged in small and large accidents alike. The good news is that you do not need to simply live with a damaged side power mirror. Order a new power mirror from your local dealership or auto body shop. You may also need to order auto paint for the mirror that matches your Tahoe. The replacement mirror can then be installed in your Tahoe in just a few hours.

Instructions

    1

    Find the screws on the inside of the Tahoe door panel. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws from the door panel. Pop the door panel out of place and set aside.

    2

    Remove the mirror trim with a door panel remover tool. Unscrew the three screws that are located beneath the mirror trim with a screwdriver. Place the screws somewhere safe.

    3

    Disconnect the cables in the mirror and the door. The cables should come apart easily. Remove the mirror from the door.

    4

    Slip the wiring for the Tahoe replacement mirror through the hole in the door. Screw the mirror into place with the screws from the old mirror. Connect the cable of the new mirror to the cable in the door. The cables should fit together nicely.

    5

    Replace the door panel. Screw it into place with the panel screws and a screwdriver. Push the mirror trim cover panel back into place.
