How to Replace the Glass Panel on the Mirror of a 1996 Suburban

If you want to replace just the glass panel in the mirror on your 1996 Suburban, youll be happy to know that you do not have to remove the large plastic housing that bolts onto the side of the Chevys door. The glass panel, which is actually made of plastic, is secured to the small motor mounted inside the plastic mirror housing. This makes replacing just the glass panel easier since no tools are required to disconnect the mirror from the motor in the housing.

Instructions

1

Push one side of the Suburbans glass panel mirror into the mirror housing. If youre replacing the mirror on the drivers side, push the right side of the mirror into the housing. If youre replacing the passengers side mirror on the Suburban, push the left side of the mirror into the housing.

2

Grasp the side of the mirror sticking out of the housing and pull hard on it to remove it. The mirror has a long metal tab that sticks out of the back of it. This tab slides into a slot in the face of the motor located inside the mirror. As you pull on the mirror, the metal tab will slide out of the slot on the motor.

3

Place the metal tab of the new glass panel mirror into the slot on the face of the mirrors motor.

4

Push on the face of the mirror to push the metal tab into the slot. Once the mirror rests inside the housing, the mirror is in place.
