1998 - 2000 GM OBS SUV Exterior Electrochromatic Auto Dimming Mirror Replacement (Chevy & GMC)

Описание: In this video we go over replacement of the GM exterior electrochromatic mirror element in late 90s GMT400 old body style (OBS) SUVs like the Suburban. While there were never aftermarket suppliers for these auto-dimming electrochromatic mirror assemblies, and they have been discontinued by GM for well over a decade now, you can locate a salvage yard or new old stock (NOS) genuine GM replacement. This video will show you how to install the replacement auto-dimming mirror unit, how to remove and replace the exterior mirror housing, and some GM technical information about exterior mirror installation and removal along the way.

The vehicle illustrated is a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban LT K1500, but the procedure and technique shown is applicable to any 1998 thru 2000 OBS GMT400 type body style Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, GMC Suburban, or GMC Yukon with regular production option (DD0) auto-dimming exterior mirrors. It can also apply to a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71, which used the classic OBS body.
