The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you removal and replacement of the side view mirror on this 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. Tools you'll need are a small and medium flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension.
Maybe your mirror has been smashed or it's like this. The inside kind of falls apart and now it flaps around. Start with a regular screwdriver. Put it up under, a quick little pry. Same thing here. Okay. Pry that up. You can see this got two clips, front and back. Okay. Then you want to turn it over and you will unplug all these harnesses. Basically, several thumb tabs. Pull them up. Okay, skip that one. This one pulls up very easy. Use your screwdriver. Just pry that up a little bit then lift that off. Then over here, screwdriver on this tab. Pry it up a little bit. Hook it right out. This comes out. Now, around your door handle here, you're going to see some little tabs, little slots, you can inserts a small screwdriver. Push down your screwdriver and then pull out with your hand. Work your hand underneath. Another tab right back here. Push down, pull out. Then there's a couple up top. Okay. Those ones, you push up. Okay, one more right here. Okay, this whole thing comes out. If you have the memory seat and everything, you can now just pull this whole harness right up and out.
There are two 10mm bolts. One there. Then one way down in there. 10mm socket with a extension and ratchet. This one's really easy to get to. Pull this one out. This one. You're going to start. Unscrew as much as I can. I just felt that fall which is okay. Once you have those out, then you can start up here with your hand. Just work it underneath this triangle. Pull out and then just kind of work your hand under the door panel. It will get harder and harder to slide under. Just pull. Okay, keep working your hand under, pull. Work your hand under, pull. Actually here's my bolt from that arm rest. Okay, work our hand under, pull out. Okay. Your door panel comes off. Remove this gasket. You can see that our harness lead comes all the way down here. Pull it off the door. 10mm nuts. Okay, speed it up here a little bit as I loosen those up. The mirror comes out.
Okay. New mirror from 1A Auto. Has the correct connection and everything. Just reverse the procedure. Take that down in. Okay, here we'll fast forward again as I put those three nuts on and then tighten them up. You want them tight nice and snug. You don't want to over tighten them because the mirror base is plastic and it could break. Put that installation back in. One thing I did forget to do here is just kind of run that wire back into its clip when I did that before I put the door panel back on. Now, I'm going to fast forward here through putting the door panel back on just in the interest of keeping the video a little bit on the short side. Once you get it off, it's pretty easy to get back on. If you do want to see this in real speed or regular speed, just check out our other videos for the Trailblazer front door panel, remove and replace. Okay. I'm turning the key on, put the window down just so you can see and do a quick test on the mirror. You can see it works.
