Escalade side mirrors on a Tahoe LTZ!

[ncpepperman]

I actually didn’t. There were a few on pass side that part of the top clip broke off. I rotated and re-used.

I would say when I change door speakers I probably will have to change some clips at that time.

Best chance of success is pulling deliberately and somewhat quickly. I was able to start at the panel nearest the hinges and work my way around. Seemed to go best.

One other thing-the upper door trim needs to come off as well. When installing make sure you get the weatherstripping back right—it goes over the trim piece.

It is not hard, and makes more sense when you do it.

All's well that ends well...... Finally tackled the mirror swap. I was glad I picked up one of those plastic trim pry bar kits from amazon ,the door panel took some force to get popped. First door took less than 30 minutes until I dropped the 7 mm screw down the hole in the arm rest after putting it all back together. Used some tissue to plug said hole in second door panel to save taking it off a second time and searching for renegade screw.

I must say, now that the new mirrors are in , they were worth all the trail and tribulation . I feel 100% safer with less blind spot and the blinker indicator in the front of the mirror just might let the driver next to me know what the hell I'm about to do. Besides, they look better than the stock Denali mirrors.

This has been a great thread and thanks to all who posted. Leveling out the rear is next.......

Did you get the 360 view mirror part working?

No , I didn't bother with the camera. From previous posts on this thread, it looks like you're going to spend another G and need an advanced degree in Electronics just to get that working. I do well changing a light bulb.............

Also, relying on SS and a small VA check; that's an expense I can live without. Leveling out the rear and Dash cams would seem to be the next worthwhile "upgrade" . Meanwhile, I've eliminated a potential accident ! I would highly recommend just the mirror upgrade to everyone. It is just a Plug n Play operation.

Again, great thread and helpful input.

Has anyone tried the Trail Ridge tow mirrors? They look like they have everything except the power fold, which I don't really care about. This would be for my 2017 Yukon Denali. https://www.1aauto.com/2015-17-mirror-pair-trail-ridge-tr00393/i/1amrp01964

Are you going for bigger and 360 view or just bigger?

My truck is an LT and I hated the small mirror. I going for all options that we all end up getting to work. I have a 2018 with no mirror options but many other options. This truck actually confuses me to what it really is lol

I have a 2016 Suburban LT. No power folding and no turn signal. If I upgrade to escalade ones will the turn signal work? And to make the power folding function work, is it just as simple as upgrading the window switch?

Am really interested in this upgrade. Thanks in advance.

Well, at least Black is a easy "cheap" color. They also have Chrome covers if you are into Bling...

I can’t find anything but the chrome ones on eBay and I’m fed not about the bling

You'll have to get them painted but at least it's not a "Tri Coat" color.

Best way I found to get the caps off was to start at the bottom with a plastic/nylon pry tool.

Several informative videos on this thread, start at the beginning.

More than likely , you will need the wiring harness that has those "goodies" and the switch.

I'm a late arrival to this thread and read it from the beginning to end several times before swapping mine out a couple weeks ago. I was fortunate to find a white that matched my White frost tri coat. Get some extra door "clips" just in case.

There are a lot of helpful members on this thread . Good luck.......

Yeah you'd have to buy a new door switch and verify that the harnesses are wired to accomodate. I believe the harnesses have the turn and fold built in but you just have to add a switch and appropriate mirror. Search the web on that though to verify. I saw a how-to formun post for adding power to a non-power truck (dont remember if i added it somewhere along in this thread). I think it was a gmtruckclub.

My question has anyone found success with the needed harness and switch? I know the radio is what controls those options. I ordered the switch now do I need the harness you listed? Can MVI add the options into the HMI??

Were you able to get the mirrors in White First Tri Coat?? I just bought a pair of Escalade mirrors that are Crystal White Tri Coat and I'm anxious to see how close they are in color.

I have the Escalade tri-coat on my Tahoe. They are not the same. However... no one can tell except me and my father of my friends and family. The Escalade is a tad more yellow than the white diamond tri-coat. I think I have photos at the beginning of the thread if my install and you can see them.

Close enough for me too....
