Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you removal and replacement of the side view mirror on this 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. Tools you'll need are a small and medium flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension.
Maybe your mirror has been smashed or it's like this. The inside kind of falls apart and now it flaps around. Start with a regular screwdriver. Put it up under, a quick little pry. Same thing here. Okay. Pry that up. You can see this got two clips, front and back. Okay. Then you want to turn it over and you will unplug all these harnesses. Basically, several thumb tabs. Pull them up. Okay, skip that one. This one pulls up very easy. Use your screwdriver. Just pry that up a little bit then lift that off. Then over here, screwdriver on this tab. Pry it up a little bit. Hook it right out. This comes out. Now, around your door handle here, you're going to see some little tabs, little slots, you can inserts a small screwdriver. Push down your screwdriver and then pull out with your hand. Work your hand underneath. Another tab right back here. Push down, pull out. Then there's a couple up top. Okay. Those ones, you push up. Okay, one more right here. Okay, this whole thing comes out. If you have the memory seat and everything, you can now just pull this whole harness right up and out.
There are two 10mm bolts. One there. Then one way down in there. 10mm socket with a extension and ratchet. This one's really easy to get to. Pull this one out. This one. You're going to start. Unscrew as much as I can. I just felt that fall which is okay. Once you have those out, then you can start up here with your hand. Just work it underneath this triangle. Pull out and then just kind of work your hand under the door panel. It will get harder and harder to slide under. Just pull. Okay, keep working your hand under, pull. Work your hand under, pull. Actually here's my bolt from that arm rest. Okay, work our hand under, pull out. Okay. Your door panel comes off. Remove this gasket. You can see that our harness lead comes all the way down here. Pull it off the door. 10mm nuts. Okay, speed it up here a little bit as I loosen those up. The mirror comes out.
Okay. New mirror from 1A Auto. Has the correct connection and everything. Just reverse the procedure. Take that down in. Okay, here we'll fast forward again as I put those three nuts on and then tighten them up. You want them tight nice and snug. You don't want to over tighten them because the mirror base is plastic and it could break. Put that installation back in. One thing I did forget to do here is just kind of run that wire back into its clip when I did that before I put the door panel back on. Now, I'm going to fast forward here through putting the door panel back on just in the interest of keeping the video a little bit on the short side. Once you get it off, it's pretty easy to get back on. If you do want to see this in real speed or regular speed, just check out our other videos for the Trailblazer front door panel, remove and replace. Okay. I'm turning the key on, put the window down just so you can see and do a quick test on the mirror. You can see it works.

Okay, friends. One of the first things we have to do is get behind this door panel to get to the mirror. Grab yourself a nice plastic trim tool. The reason why you wanna use plastic is because we don't wanna try to damage anything on the door panel itself. If you can slide it right underneath this area right here, you should be able to pry it up, and you're gonna see there's a couple little clips. It'll look about the same on the front except just one clip. We'll pop that up as well. Slide this out, and now, we're gonna remove all of our wiring.
If you were to grab right here, you can see it pulls up on that tab, and you should be able to slide this off, and then continue on doing the same thing down the line. If you look right here, and there, and then the same areas on the other side over here, you're gonna see there's these little push clip things that are stuck in there. If you go right in between just like this, you should be able to wiggle it. Do the same on the other side. There we are. Set this aside.
What we're gonna remove is this piece right here. It's just plastic, so be very careful not to break it. Come right in between here, and pry it away. There we are. Set that aside. Now, we're just gonna grab onto this bezel. This has four little hooky-dos that are holding on. So, if you just carefully pull it away, it should kinda just pop off nice and easy. Set that aside. Now that we have all of this out of the way, you have a clear view of the bolt that's right down in there. And then there will be another bolt right down inside the handle area right there.
Use your 10-millimeter with an extension, and remove both. There's that first one, and there's the second one. I'll just grab a magnet so I can get it out of there. Now, here comes the fun part about pulling off the panel. You're gonna need to continue on with this plastic trim tool right here and come right along the edge of the plastic and the door itself. Slide it down until you feel it stop. When it stops, you're gonna come across something like this. It's gonna go, "Bonk." Pry it away, and it'll draw this out from the door.
I'm just gonna take this. I'm gonna start right in the center, work my way down. I can feel that there's a piece right here. See about getting under there. Give it a nice tug. All right. Right up here there's gonna be another one. So, we're just gonna be careful not to break that one. Now, we're gonna lift this straight up, and remove it from the vehicle. So, now, we're got our cable here. We can see it leads right up behind this area. Go ahead and pull this out. We're gonna hold onto this and save it because we're gonna put it right back in there when we're done.
That exposes the 10-millimeter, another one, and there's one right here. We're gonna remove all three, but be careful because there isn't much holding the mirror in at that point except for this little clip. There's one of the nuts. I'm just gonna put it back on there, just a couple of threads just for safety. I'll remove all the rest. Okay. Now, I'm gonna circle around the vehicle to the outside. Remove that safety nut that I left on there. Now, we're gonna push down on this and then pull the mirror out. There it is, friends.
Okay, friends. Now, it's time for our install. Go ahead and take the mirror. We're gonna put the wires straight through this first and then bring it on through. Now, I'm gonna be very careful not to scratch any paint. Slide those studs right in. Start on one of my nuts there. There we are. Now, I can get the rest of 'em started, and then we'll bottom them out and snug 'em up. All bottomed out. I'm just gonna give 'em a quick snug. Perfect. Get this back in here. Let's get the seat button back in here. And then we'll just take it and connect it in.
Grab the door panel. We're gonna grab all of our wiring and put it up through the handle area, not through this area, this area right here. We need every single bit of it. There we are. Now, if you notice up along the top area of the door here, there's kinda like a nice little lip. And if you were to look at this door panel right along here, there's also a nice little hooky-do lip. This one needs to sit inside there, which means we're gonna have to come high, put it on, slide it down, and then bonk in the press clips.
Okay. Now, we're gonna start lining up those push clips to make sure everything's situated. That one in there. Double-check all the way around. It's completely seated. That feels great. Let's grab our wiring. Let's grab the window switch here, the master switch, and get this all set up. And take the biggest one, slide it right in there. Let's get this in here. Okay. Untwist those. They all have miscellaneous shapes. So, there's no way you can really mix them up. You don't necessarily have to worry about that so much. There we are.
Let's go ahead and slide this down. Line it up with where it needs to go, and carefully press it in. Now, it's time to get this plate on here. You're gonna notice that it's not a circle, and it's not even really a perfect oval. It's really kinda slanted downward. The smaller area is gonna be facing towards the front or towards this area. Go ahead and line it up. You're gonna see there that there's little pitons that need to fit into the holes once you line those up.
Just carefully press it in. Grab this. Line up your push clips with the holes that they need to go into. Press that in as well. So, now, I'm just gonna use a magnet, and I'm gonna try to get this bolt down deep into this hole and get it started a little bit because just dropping it in there really isn't the easiest. All right. That one's nice and tight. Now, we're just gonna test everything. Let's test that mirror. That works perfectly. Now, just set it to where you need it.
