Driver's mirror was vandalized. I'm figuring on replacing myself and taking the check from the insurance company.

Junk yards around me are trash. It seems that her mirror has every option. I'm having trouble finding the right mirror online.

She has:
Turn signal chevron
defrost
power folding
auto-dimming (I think)


I hate trying to guess and order something. Is there a way I can get the exact GM part number and maybe cross it for replacements?

I don't have an exact answer for you, but have you tried kool-vue.com? I looked there for the exact mirror you're looking for, but for my 03. Was almost $300. How bad was it vandalized? Just the glass was broken or the whole mirror?

Have you run your VIN through GMPartsDirect and GMPartsGiant?

They also have power folding.
The outer housing is cracked too. So I need the whole thing, not just the glass. a58eae64e35beb9ba9a1b8dd097d6e4a.jpg65072101d96f349d5bfa8280bdfa8919.jpg

You can get a junkyard one, strip that mirror down and mix and match parts. Ive had my 01 tahoe apart many times to fix the spring inside.

TURNz...... Make a call to your insurance adjuster..... ask if he/she already knows where the mirror would have come from. They should be happy to tell you. ( You might be able to get it for a "jobber price" discount)

If you can't find one.

( I used to be an adjuster/investigator )

But...maybe...... that mirror is considered a "safety component".... You must confirm it was properly replaced (?) ( And / or they may require a certified shop to do repairs to make your ride "insurable" again, due to liability.

My old '88 Sierra, in 2004 had the driver's mirror hit by a pick up truck passenger extended mirror on a narrow street. ( Laguna Beach)

Fortunately my 'wing' mirror only folded and a tiny scratch.... the other truck mirror looked like it blew up !! ( A new Ford)

(these are some of the used parts sites)


You can find your RPO code in your glove box. I think it will be DL3, but some of the other RPO codes for mirrors just in case, are DK2, DL8, DR2 Should help to search with those.
