Hi, I'mMike 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 Chevy Blazer S10; we show you specifically how to install tow mirrors, but it's pretty much the same process for any other side mirror you'd want to install on this vehicle, and the tools you'll need are a new side mirror from 1AAuto.com, a 7mm and 10mm socket and ratchet, a flat blade screwdriver, and a Phillips screwdriver. You want to start off by removing this Phillips screw right here, as well as these two 7mm bolts down here. We'll just fast forward as Don removes that Phillips screw and pulls out that door handle bezel and then removes those two 7mm bolts. Pull up your switch panel and then use a flat blade screwdriver to pry back the little clip, and you just pull the harness right out, and you do the same thing for the bigger harness. Now you want to pull out on the door panel to release the clips behind it. You can look back in there and find where they are. You want to pull out near them so you don't break them. Once those clips have all been released, the door panel will just lift up and off.
Using the flat blade screwdriver just pry up on the clip on the harness and pull that free. Behind the mirror, you'll see these three rubber caps; you just pull each of those out. Behind those rubber caps, you'll see these three 10mm nuts. You just want to go ahead and remove those, and we'll fast forward as Don does this. You'll see that as Don loosens them up, he uses a magnet to try to get the nuts out of there without dropping them down into the door. If they do fall into the door though, they're not that difficult to get out, as we'll show you. If you should lose one of the nuts down in the door, just pull up on the water shield . you'll need to have your window up -- then you can reach right in there and grab it. Once those nuts are removed, the mirror will just pull right off your door.
We're going to install actually a prototype tow mirror here, and obviously your new mirror you just put it back in place and start the 10mm nuts on, and we'll fast forward as he does this. Obviously, you would also reconnect your power or power and heat harness.
Now, to reinstall your door panel, you just want to run your harness back through it, push it down into the window sill, and then push in those clips around the door. Reconnect your switch panel, and then you want to push that down into place, putting the back end in first and then pushing down the front. Now, you can put your door handle bezel back into place. Now, you want to just put your 7mm bolt into the socket and feed it up into the door pull handle, and you're going to want to do this with both of them. We'll just fast forward as Mike replaces those two bolts and that Phillips screw.
