Escalade side mirrors on a Tahoe LTZ!

[dbbd1]

Two on the way at $99 @. White , will see how they look with the White Frost Tri Coat.......

Where did you find them for that price? Seems really reasonable.

Matt, thanks for the info. Will order them today. Any tips on taking the "caps" off?

This is a great thread and I look forward to eliminating the blind spot. Came close twice to pulling into a car I didn't see. I have the mirrors turned out as far as they will go but it won't eliminate the blind spot. Blind spot warning light not to be trusted.......

Here’s a video that @pgamboa did.

I realize he’s working on a truck mirror, but the concept is the same. I believe the mirror cover clips are in the same place on the Escalade caps. Just spaced out a little since it’s a larger cap.

Mirrors arrived yesterday, nicer than I imagined . It looks like they are Crystal White Tricoat which is close to my White frost Tricoat, might not have to repaint them. Extra door clips on the way. Great thread and can't wait to install them.

Installed mine yesterday evening. Plug and play. Took about 1hr per side, but I took my time. Thanks for everyone’s help!!

Look great. Did you have to replace any door clips?

I actually didn’t. There were a few on pass side that part of the top clip broke off. I rotated and re-used.

I would say when I change door speakers I probably will have to change some clips at that time.

Best chance of success is pulling deliberately and somewhat quickly. I was able to start at the panel nearest the hinges and work my way around. Seemed to go best.

One other thing-the upper door trim needs to come off as well. When installing make sure you get the weatherstripping back right—it goes over the trim piece.

It is not hard, and makes more sense when you do it.

Well, back to ebay. The mirrors are beautiful, great price but didn't realize that they do not have "Blind Spot" , do everything else but not that. Sending them back , bought two more for $100 more but with the Blind Spot and also "white". I overlooked that thinking all would have it. Door clips arrived but it will be next week before the new mirrors will get here. Need to read the discription more carefully next time..... got too excited but no sense eliminating the blind spot and saving a $100. At my age , I need all the help I can get!!!

Well, the new mirrors arrived today. Nice chip out of the driver's side but they do have "blind spot" warning. But , to my chagrin , they are missing the puddle lights and one camera....

Perhaps this upgrade is not meant to be. Any idea if the puddle lights from the stock Denali mirrors will fit the Escalade housings? Happy with the blindspot but the puddle lights would be nice.

I failed to realize that there were so many options on the 15-17 Escalade mirrors. No writing of any kind on the passenger mirror. Looks like I'll have to buy an Escalade if I want the mirrors...
