haha yah man mine has been for awhile to, but I just sold it and told the guy I would get the mirror and fix it this weekend, I know it just pops out but I dont want to break anything obviously. The dealer said it would be $525 for just the glass.....and no junk yards around here have it so it looks like I may have to pay the stealership.

Get the replacement mirror glass. I think I have seen them on eBay if you cant find them local. To replace, push your mirror in towards the hinge with your hands as far as it goes. Using a flashlight look inside the mirror assembly. You will see that there is a round part to the back of the mirror with multiple tabs going around the perimeter. Take a long, thin, flathead screwdriver and gently work the tabs loose, one at a time. After you loosen a few of them the tabs get easier to work loose, allowing you to pop off the mirror. Then, just snap down the new mirror on the exposed mount.

Oh, and if you have the heated glass, just unplug the old mirror and plug in the new one, then snap it onto the mount.

Here are a couple of pics to show you the mounts

I took mine to a local Glass and Trim shop and they changed the passenger side mirror for $35 total. I think it would be more expensive if I had the turn signal mirrors.

Same happened to me. The glass was like 50 bux from the dealer. Just popped it off and installed thge new one like MD said. EASY. I'm a tech but still easy.

wtf... 5+ for a mirror????

I went to a junkyard and they had the turn signal mirrors for my Denali...asked them how much they were just in case I'd ever have to buy one...For a SINGLE USED mirror out of a WRECKED vehicle..one mirror assy. cost $320...thats fvckin stupid...

are you sure $525 for just the glass???? I'd be afraid to ask what an assy. cost... :(
