Denali Passenger Side Mirror

[Pointer 21]

I've poked around doing research; however, I'm unclear as to exactly what I need to repair a 2012 passenger side mirror:

While backing up the mirror was damaged bending the entire housing to the the outside (opposite to folding inward as designed). The glass itself is not broken but the mounts on the backside of the glass for fitment and tilting need replacing.

The housing is ok and folds inward properly....so from what I gather I THINK I really only need an actuator motor and glass (at the most)?

The mirror has side blide zone alert, tilting, etc (All standard for a 2012 except the an upgraded blind side addition that wasn't standard back in 2012).

Any suggestions on what is needed here? I've read up on gruven and the need to do extra work to customize the motor components. I've also looked into entire OEM assemblies..............$$$$ and likely not necessary (I hope)...

Look to see if one of these will work. https://www.1aauto.com/2012-yukon-m...content=C-MO-Y - 2012 Yukon mirror side view

I appreciate it. Don't believe I found what I need. Does it sound like an actuator and new glass will suffice?

If so, I can identify the part numbers and order OEM online....I THINK

I myself have not seen break down of mirror that has part numbers for parts you need. May be a pick a part yard might help you. Sometimes the part you need that is broke will have number on it that might find what you need. Good luck,

Truthfully buy I new one. Not that pricey plus if you're going to take the old mirror off if my myth is correct you don't have to take the door panel off.

I think it's going to be along these lines based on my vin: The passenger side mirror is out of stock; however, ALL I really need is the plastic on the back of the mirror to go piece to the actuator. There's got to be a way to piece this together!!

Getting closer - It's just the opposite. I need the "guts" :

The housing is barely scuffed
The mirrors still fold in

PROBLEM:

Glass with blind side alert is ONLY potentially damaged on the rear part that connects to the actuator
The actuator has broken plastic (the pieces that make it tilt)

I'd think an actuator motor and new glass would be sufficient which would be ~$250.00
wheras a new entire assembly would be ~$375.00

If I can repair the plastic on the backside of the the glass...that's saving money. Playing jigsaw but boy are they proud of their parts!

Check GMPartsGiant for the parts, if they are still available. I was able to make a list from there once of all the components in case I needed them. Try to stick with GM OE and not aftermarket as they often vibrate.

@swathdiver - There's the man! This is what I came up with thus far:

The passenger side mirror is not in stock (assuming I need it). Based on my vin these parts should suffice. If I swap the actuator and get new glass (pricey but potentially necessary). Wouldn't this be a pretty quick easy install?

I'll reiterate that my glass is not broken but I believe the plastic on the back that connects to the actuator may be damaged...I don't want to pull it off because I have it rigged on there JUST right to where I could address all my other issues prior to this one..that is seemingly pricey as well.

Good afternoon gurus - I'm apparently challenged at this part ordering thing.

Can anyone confirm the difference in glass in the rockauto link below?

RockAuto

RockAuto ships auto parts and body parts from over 300 manufacturers to customers' doors worldwide, all at warehouse prices. Easy to use parts catalog.

Also, my glass is functioning fine - It just doesn't stay in the housing connected to the actuator (Potentially damaged as to the back plastic piece MAYBE).

Would you guys think I need the glass at all or is there an alternative route I should consider?

If it was mine, I pull mirror out and see what is broke you might be able to glue part that's broke.

That would seem logical..HA HA! I've got too many projects (on top of work) going on at the moment and a terrible habit of trying to order ALL PARTS before the weekend when I have time to figure out what the heck is going on and rushing to install.

It baffles me how much parts cost (in general but particularly the Denali) and the headache of ordering the RIGHT parts...plenty of roadblocks there. Preaching to the choir; however, this forum is VALUABLE and I appreciate everyone's input. I Suppose I could crack the mirror and risk being mirrorless for awhile on my daily driver.

Does the mirror still work? Try some 3M double sided tape as a temporary fix

I am replacing the passenger's side mirror on my 2014 GMC yukon XL Denali because my Mom hit a tree.
The plastic outside is broken but the rest may be helpful for you if you want it.

Just seeing this....Do you still have the mirror?
