09-12 Esky Mirrors are on...

I see now... I think. Kind of dark.

Hmm... I think that might bother me....

You can't see it from the front or from inside. The only time you see it is walking up from the rear and you have to be looking right at that spot. otherwise, it just blends in with the black of the mirror.


I have pretty bad OCD and it doesn't bother me.

Haha! Got it. Hey, the overall look is awesome, anyway. Your truck is beautiful.

Can you take another pic of the glass part of the mirror but not hold the camera in front of your face this time? I am really on the fence about whether I want to do this mod.

im guess that the blind spot does not work right?

No

Still waiting on the pic I requested...

I purchased them used for $350. Since they were the newest 09-12 style with the blinkers in a line instead of the 07-08 style with the blinkers in dots, the colors didn't match. So I had to pull them completely apart, and have the 2 bezels and the 2 caps painted for $100. So $450 total and I've got my Esky mirrors.

How hard is it to pull these apart? I just got a set of these and I need to get mine painted as well.

Pull the mirror off
push the top back off
take the tilt motor off
pull the lower housing off
pull the surround off.


Face the mirror down and then grab the top of the mirror and pull firmly.


Now that I've done it twice, I could do it all day long. Takes about 5 minutes to completely disassemble. The first one will take about 15 minutes... lol

 

[Fitz08]

Thanks for the info, sounds kinda intimidating. maybe I''l just let the body shop do that part. I'd hate to screw up a brand new set of mirrors

looks good, my question is this i got a 2011 yukon i would assume i would have to buy the mirror switch with the fold button for them to fold with some programming and how could i make the blind spot work? is that even possible? either way they look good

 

[StormTrooper2181]

very nice

here ya go...

I hate to revive such and old thread but I've not seen the answer elsewhere.

Is it possible to add the whole chome trim piece from the Escalade windows (which includes the blacked out B pillar) to the Tahoe/Yukon? I'm guessing that would solve the problem with this gap.

Mirrors look awesome though and I'm considering it for mine.

Nope. It's the entire window trim surround and it's different. You'd have to install an Esky DOOR to do it.

The gap honestly isn't that bad. I did this mod on an old vehicle and I'd do it again. Even with the gap.

My OCD is pretty bad and I don't even notice it anymore... until this evening when I get in my truck after veiwing this thread again

 

[07Burb]

I think Nathan needs to buy Esky doors to fix his problem

Well that is a bit more of a project than I'm looking for.

How much of the mirror can you piece together by combining old and new mirrors (I've got a 12 with power fold, blind spot, and red signals)? Can you re-use the top cap or will you need to get the entire mirror painted to match?

I see some on eBay but most have broken power fold. Is that tough to fix?
