2009 Chevrolet Avalanche Driver & Passenger Side 2 Piece Without Memory Textured Black Mirror Set TRQ MRA04939

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

What's up guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today I'm going to show you how to install these manual tow mirrors on this 2008 Chevy Silverado work truck. If you need these parts or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.

Open the door. We're going to remove this window crank. We need a window crank removal tool. We're going to position the window crank in this up position right here. Take the tool. If you want to put it in the same location that it was, you could mark it before you take this off. We can get this. Just slide this down. There's a little pin, little clip you have to remove. Just push it down and then it slides right off.

Take this lock button off. I'm just going to use a pick tool. Just get in behind here, slide that little lock piece off and slide the button off. Next underneath here I'm going to take a trim tool. Just slide under here. You can use a pick also. Get underneath there. Slide this cover off.

Next we're going to take this cover off. Take my pick tool or trim tool, slide that cover off. The clip right there, clip right there. We're going to use a 10 millimeter socket, extension, and a ratchet. And there's three bolts, one bolt here and two bolts there. Take those out. Might have to hold this handle up a little bit to get this bolt out. Take that bolt out. Oops. Just use a magnet, take that bolt out.

Next we're going to take this trim piece off. Just use my trim tool behind here and pry. There's just clips that hold this on, three clips hold that on. Next I'm going to use a trim tool. I'm going to pop. There's clips holding the door panel on. Just go around the perimeter of the door panel. Pop it off. Oops. Those are all popped off. You should be able to release right there.

We're going to need to release the handle cable right here. There is two ears on the bottom of this door panel, so you can put it in service position so that you can leave it there while you're working. With the door panel hanging on the lower pins so that the door panel is in service position, we can access all three of the nuts that hold the mirror on so we can take that off at this point.

I'm just going to take my window crank. I am going to lower the window so that it's easier for me to grab the mirror while I'm working on it. I'll take a 10 millimeter socket, loosen up these nuts. Before I take this all the way out, I'm going to support the mirror. Take that nut off.

There's a tab in here that needs to be pinched. I'm just going to take some needle nose pliers, get in there and pinch the tab. Squeeze that nut off and I can grab the mirror. Just slide it up, just like that. Here's where that tab is. Just took the needle nose pliers and just squeezed that, right there.

Here's our old mirror. Here's our new manual telescoping tow mirror from 1aauto.com. As you can see, it telescopes in and out. The mounting bracket is the same. It comes with the gasket and also the nuts. On the front side the mirror is a lot bigger and it telescopes out a lot further than the original. Get yours at 1aauto.com. You'll be ready to rock and roll.

Now I'm going to take these nuts off the new mirror before we slide it on. If there was a gasket on the inside of the door panel or the outside of the door panel, take the gasket off. It's the gasket on the new one. Line the studs up with the holes. Take and start the nut on the top. Once you get that started, then you can let go of the mirror. Get the other nuts on. There's no wires so you don't have to worry about feeding any wires.

Now I'll take my 10 millimeter socket, extension, and ratchet and just snug these up. If you need to, when you want to adjust these, you're just going to use your hand because they are manual mirrors. Just push down whichever direction you want to go. Same with the bottom. The bottom moves as well, just like that. And then also, you can telescope it out.

We can take the door panel, and make sure this lock rod goes through that, all right there. That's good right there. Get this little door pin in the hole on this side. That's in position. Make sure the rest is there. Once that's all, all the pins are lined up, can start pushing it on.

I'll reattach this. If you had a foam insulator, you would put that in there. Now this vehicle doesn't have one. Align these pins up. Lock that in place. We're going to take these two bolts right underneath the handle, use our 10 millimeter socket, extension, and ratchet. Just get that one started and then I'll get the other one started. Snug it up. Then I'll snug up the other one. And down below here, underneath the handle, get this bolt in. Tighten it down. Snug it down.

Take these two covers. This one's going to go down below. There's a little pin right there that goes through that hole so you know which direction it goes. Put that in position. Lock it in place. This one is going to go in this position. There's a pin, a little slot there. Lock that in place.

Now I'm going to install the new crank handle. Remember this washer is going to go in the back side. Just put this into position. Put it on the same way that you took off the old handle. Get it lined up. Make sure it's locked in place. And it's good to go.

We'll take this lock button. Make sure this lock rod is all the way up. Take the button, slide it into position, and then push down on the lock part. Make sure it works properly. And you're all set.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a mirror. This is an '07 Yukon Denali, pretty much the same for Denali, as well as the SLT and the Chevy LTZ series, both the SUVs and the trucks. We'll be showing you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. You'll need a new mirror from 1AAuto.com. We sell a wide range of replacements painted, chrome, power, power-heated and then you'll need a small and regular-sized flat blade screwdriver, 10mm socket with a ratchet extension, and a door panel clip tool, or a putty knife.

Disconnect the battery. You want to open up the driver's door. The hood release lever has a safety latch. Move it to the right, and then lift the hood up. The battery is near the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side with a 10mm nut on top of the negative battery cable. We'll loosen that 10mm nut, pull the battery cable up and off, and then put it to the side so it won't contact the terminal again.

There's a little square clip on the door lock that you want to pry out with a small flat blade screwdriver. Then use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry that panel out. Then there's a little panel in behind the door handle that you pry out. This is the same for either front door, and then you'll see there's a 10mm bolt there and two behind the door pull. Use the small flat blade screwdriver, pry out that square clip, pull that up and off, and then use a rag to help protect the paint and pry out the triangle that's at the top of the door. It pulls straight off, and then use a 10mm socket and ratchet with an extension and remove the three bolts. Use a screwdriver and a rag just to protect the door panel. Pry up on the switch panel, work your finger underneath, and pull it straight up. You pull it some, and then pry up in the front. The clips are located right at the front and right at the rear, and the harnesses are all connected with a connector that has this little tab that you press. Pull the connector down and out. You need to release the clips that hold the panel in. I've got a door panel clip tool and a rag again to protect the paint.

Work the panel clip tool underneath and around the clip, and then I'm going to put the screwdriver between the clip and a rag and pry out on the clip tool. You can hear it pop the clip out and I'll just repeat that. I usually try and get the first four on the back side and once you get those, then you can usually work your hand underneath to a point where you can feel where the clip is, and then pull firmly, and you'll release the clips. If your door panel has never been removed before, you'll need to remove the water shield from the door panel. There's a black clip, you can see there, that I'm trying to pry out. There are usually three or four of these on each panel, so you try and pull the clips out, or you can pull on the water shield and either pull the clip out of the same time or pull the water shield from around clip. Again, there's usually three or four of these on each panel. If your door panel has already been off though, a lot of times, they've already been removed. Now, pull the door panel up and out, and it's connected with the door handle cable. Looking in behind, there are couple of tabs that hold the handle cable in to the clip. Release the tabs, and then you can pull the cable out, and then out in the ball like that, and your door panel is separated.

You want to pull the harness that's connected to the mirror. There are three clips that clip the harness to the door. You can try and pull them off. You can see here, I'm actually pulling the tape from the clip. You see the white clip in the door, and then I'm not able to get the harness out. Remove this insulator, and there are a couple of more clips in behind there. Speed it up here. I just use a pair of needle-nose pliers and remove those clips. 10mm socket and ratchet with extension, there are three nuts that hold the mirror on, and I'll just fast-forward here as I remove those. Now here, I'm finishing up taking that last nut off. Then there's actually a clip that holds the mirror in. You can see, a good strike on the top breaks the clip free, and then you just have to work your harness out.

To install your new mirror, put it over in place, feed the connectors through, and the harness through. Make sure it mounts correctly and the mirror pad is on there correctly. Start the three 10mm nuts that hold it. I'll fast-forward here as we put those in and then tighten up. Clip the harness back into place, and pull it through the water shield correctly.

To reinstall, there are two larger clips at the bottom that you put into the door, and it will support the door panel while you reinstall the cable. Insert the ball of the cable into the handle, and then move it around and clip it into place. Make sure that you pull up all the harnesses through the opening. Then you lift the door panel up and push it back and down onto the window ledge clip. The entire top of the door goes in the clip, and then once you have the window ledge secured, then lock in the clips all the way around. Make sure you pull the door lock up and put the door lock knob back in. Slide it down on there, and then push the clip. Put the mirror insulator back in place. I like to load bolts into the socket and then put them into place. I'll just fast-forward here as I put all three of them in and tighten them up. Put the triangle back in place, the panel behind the door handle, and the panel behind the door pull. All the harnesses are color-coded and they only plug in one way. Re-plug those in, and then put the switch panel back in place. Reconnect your battery, then you should be all good to go. Put the negative battery cable back on the post, and 10mm socket and ratchet, and extension, and tighten it up.
