Ok answer me this why cant I find a replacement glass for my mirror on my 2001 GMC Sierra??? I just need the glass not the whole assembly... Spent an hour at the parts store looking and nothing but the whole thing. Someone out there has to make this part don't they?

I accidentally popped the cover off of me mirror a while back, went back on, but broke off a tab that secured the cover. Dealer offered to fix it for $300 by replacing the entire assembly crazy To fix a broken plastic tab...$300!

I chose the epoxy route. It was 1/100th the cost!

Pretty soon they'll tell you to replace the car when you need an oil change!

Ten years ago that would probably work for a ten year old car.

I don't agree with this statement. Most glass places should have safety mirrored glass. If it's like mine (also a GM) was, there is a plastic holder for the glass. Bring them the plastic part and they will cut it to fit, glue it in there and hand it back.

I have a 01 Suburban - 2 years ago I broke the passenger side mirror glass and popped the plastic piece off. I went in to my local Chev dealer and they sold me the glass and plastic piece. Wasn't anywhere near $300.00.

Go to a glass shop and have them cut you a piece of mirror for it. Had it done for a car about 10 years ago. Cost me akk of $3.

That won't work very well on the passenger side. You know where it says "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" that is because it is a slightly curved mirror allowing you to see more around you, eliminating a large blind spot.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
