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 the side mirrors on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. It's the same part and similar process on the regular Envoys made after 2002. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you need are a new side mirror from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screwdriver, 10mm socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.
Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver. Then, pry up the front. Pull the switch panel up and out. Push the tab on these two harnesses on this end and disconnect them. Then, use a flat blade screwdriver and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses. Next, remove this 10mm bolt in here, and this 10mm bolt right there. We'll fast forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, just push this back in behind the door panel and slide it down until you find a clip, and then, just pry out. Then you can reach your fingers back there and just pry out around the edge. Then, just pry out on this small part of the panel up here and lift your door panel up and out of the windowsill and it's free.
Pull out the padding, and then, pull your harness from the door. Make sure the harness is free. Then, remove these three 10mm nuts. We'll just fast forward as Mike does that. Once those are removed, push down on the tab on the inside of the mirror and pull out on the mirror at the same time. Then just pull your harness out of the door and it's free.
On the bottom, is the old mirror. Above it, is the new mirror from 1AAuto. You can see they are identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Feed the harness of your new mirror back through the door. Then, line up the mirror and push it into the door. Once it's clipped in, replace the three nuts and tighten them up. Push the padding back into the door.
To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole, and then, lift the door panel up and into the windowsill. Once you have that lined up, push it down into place. Then make sure the clips are lined up and then just hit them back in around the sides of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do, is be able to hold them into the socket, so use a little bit of glue or any kind of a piece of cloth. I just have a little electrical tape put on the bolt head. Stick it into the socket. That way your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switch pack. Line up your switch panel and push it back down into place.
