I need to replace the mirrors on my 2006 Cadillac Escalade. How do I remove the door panels?

Here is the procedure......
REPLACEMENT - UPPER EXTENSION

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

1. Open the front door.

1. Release the upper extension by pulling outward on the front edge in order to release the upper retainer clips.
2. Remove the upper extension from the trim panel by lifting up and out.

1. Position the lower retainer to the trim panel.
2. Align the upper retainer clips to the door frame.
3. Press inward on the upper extension until the clips fully engage securing the panel to the door.

1. Remove the trim panel upper extension.

1. Remove the insulator, if equipped.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector.

1. Remove the nuts securing the outside mirror to the door.
2. Remove the mirror from the door.

1. Install the outside mirror to the door. Press the mirror into place.

1. Connect the electrical connector.
2. Install the nuts in order to secure the outside mirror to the door. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten the outside mirror nuts to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
3. Install the insulator, if equipped.
4. Install the trim panel upper extension.

I have a 2013 Ford Focus. The outside rearview mirrors are NOT heated. Can they be replaced with heated mirrors?

Just curious how much you might even want to pay if it's practical at all? Probably nasty expensive. Whole different vehicle and purpose I don't have them and about to carry that non evaporating windshield washer fluid (Prestone makes it) in a spray bottle.

Looks like this - works great for windshields anyway...........
Note - not the blue stuff,

Hi...searching the forums I see a lot of people who can't get their power mirrors to start working. But, my problem: I can't get them to STOP...


As I approached the car tonight I heard a loud "click, click, click" sound. To my surprise, the motor which moves the passenger side view mirror is running and I can't get it to stop. The car engine is not turned on, but the mirror keeps trying to adjust itself, nonetheless.

Once I noticed this, I did start and stop the engine. But the mirror motor keeps running. I disconnected, and reconnected the car battery.
When I reconnected it, the mirror motor started again. So I disconnected the battery again, and that's how I've left it for now.

Has anyone run across such a problem before? A sudden short circuit, perhaps? I wonder what I can do?

The good news is it's just $17.99 at Conquest auto. Copyrighted pic by them is shown here........and link is....

Hope that shows. If it is that style it may just pry up (carefully!) with a putty knife type action - go easy and plug may come up with it - otherwise you may need to remove a panel or whole panel to get at the plug,

i knocked the driver-side mirror off. the electronics still work and the mirror is not broken either. is this an easy repair and can i purchase just the mount?

any help would be grand,

thanks

You need to buy the entire mirror. You need to remove the door panel and you will see some holes in the door. Inside these holes will be the screws that hold the mirror assembly on. Disconnect wiring and unbolt mirror. Replace with new.

thanks for the help

How does one replace the reflective mirror surface on a 2003 Dodge caravan side view mirror (driver side), I have the part but I am puzzled as how to remove and replace the mirror surface.

An auto glass adhesive is usually used to glue the glass to the plastic. I have seen the rear view mirror adhesive work on these.

So Steve 01832,
should I just brake off the remaining reflective surface and glue the new mirror into place.

Be very careful you don't crack the plastic piece. You may want to wear gloves also. I usually don't advise replacing the mirrored glass. I usually replace the entire mirror. I've found that the aftermarket adhesives tend not to hold the glass longterm.

Steve, thanks for the tips.
