Mirrors & GM

[VTSTOMPER]

The putty knife idea works like a champ? I think I am going to use that method. I am not too stoked on twisting off the glass.

VTSTOMPER --

Glad the putty knife worked. I was not looking forward to prying the mirrors!

You looking for chrome caps? If yes, I'm up for a trade.

I'm looking for black mirror caps.
Maybe I can switch out mine with someone.

Anyone know how to get the chrome plate off the back above the liscence plate?
Or what I'll find under there? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

that chrome piece is easy, just carefully pull off the rear interior door panel and you will find it is attached with a few bolts and the handle cable.

Yes, th mirrors are sold only as assemblies through GM, the caps are not serviced by themselves. While this may seem like a scam to you, the consumer, this is how GM looks at it. You buy your vehile with a certain trim level package, that package includes certain items that you wouldn't find on another trim level. It is a model designation, you pay extra for it. If they made it easy to swap only parts of a trim level, the identity would be lost. Now you have to remember these are corporate people thinking marketing. However, if there was ever a warranty issue with these caps, you can bet your ass they would make the offending part available seperately because then THEY would have to pay for it. I see time and time again.
