Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

What's up guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today I'm going to show you how to install these manual tow mirrors on this 2008 Chevy Silverado work truck. If you need these parts or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.

Open the door. We're going to remove this window crank. We need a window crank removal tool. We're going to position the window crank in this up position right here. Take the tool. If you want to put it in the same location that it was, you could mark it before you take this off. We can get this. Just slide this down. There's a little pin, little clip you have to remove. Just push it down and then it slides right off.

Take this lock button off. I'm just going to use a pick tool. Just get in behind here, slide that little lock piece off and slide the button off. Next underneath here I'm going to take a trim tool. Just slide under here. You can use a pick also. Get underneath there. Slide this cover off.

Next we're going to take this cover off. Take my pick tool or trim tool, slide that cover off. The clip right there, clip right there. We're going to use a 10 millimeter socket, extension, and a ratchet. And there's three bolts, one bolt here and two bolts there. Take those out. Might have to hold this handle up a little bit to get this bolt out. Take that bolt out. Oops. Just use a magnet, take that bolt out.

Next we're going to take this trim piece off. Just use my trim tool behind here and pry. There's just clips that hold this on, three clips hold that on. Next I'm going to use a trim tool. I'm going to pop. There's clips holding the door panel on. Just go around the perimeter of the door panel. Pop it off. Oops. Those are all popped off. You should be able to release right there.

We're going to need to release the handle cable right here. There is two ears on the bottom of this door panel, so you can put it in service position so that you can leave it there while you're working. With the door panel hanging on the lower pins so that the door panel is in service position, we can access all three of the nuts that hold the mirror on so we can take that off at this point.

I'm just going to take my window crank. I am going to lower the window so that it's easier for me to grab the mirror while I'm working on it. I'll take a 10 millimeter socket, loosen up these nuts. Before I take this all the way out, I'm going to support the mirror. Take that nut off.

There's a tab in here that needs to be pinched. I'm just going to take some needle nose pliers, get in there and pinch the tab. Squeeze that nut off and I can grab the mirror. Just slide it up, just like that. Here's where that tab is. Just took the needle nose pliers and just squeezed that, right there.

Here's our old mirror. Here's our new manual telescoping tow mirror from 1aauto.com. As you can see, it telescopes in and out. The mounting bracket is the same. It comes with the gasket and also the nuts. On the front side the mirror is a lot bigger and it telescopes out a lot further than the original. Get yours at 1aauto.com. You'll be ready to rock and roll.

Now I'm going to take these nuts off the new mirror before we slide it on. If there was a gasket on the inside of the door panel or the outside of the door panel, take the gasket off. It's the gasket on the new one. Line the studs up with the holes. Take and start the nut on the top. Once you get that started, then you can let go of the mirror. Get the other nuts on. There's no wires so you don't have to worry about feeding any wires.

Now I'll take my 10 millimeter socket, extension, and ratchet and just snug these up. If you need to, when you want to adjust these, you're just going to use your hand because they are manual mirrors. Just push down whichever direction you want to go. Same with the bottom. The bottom moves as well, just like that. And then also, you can telescope it out.

We can take the door panel, and make sure this lock rod goes through that, all right there. That's good right there. Get this little door pin in the hole on this side. That's in position. Make sure the rest is there. Once that's all, all the pins are lined up, can start pushing it on.

I'll reattach this. If you had a foam insulator, you would put that in there. Now this vehicle doesn't have one. Align these pins up. Lock that in place. We're going to take these two bolts right underneath the handle, use our 10 millimeter socket, extension, and ratchet. Just get that one started and then I'll get the other one started. Snug it up. Then I'll snug up the other one. And down below here, underneath the handle, get this bolt in. Tighten it down. Snug it down.

Take these two covers. This one's going to go down below. There's a little pin right there that goes through that hole so you know which direction it goes. Put that in position. Lock it in place. This one is going to go in this position. There's a pin, a little slot there. Lock that in place.

Now I'm going to install the new crank handle. Remember this washer is going to go in the back side. Just put this into position. Put it on the same way that you took off the old handle. Get it lined up. Make sure it's locked in place. And it's good to go.

We'll take this lock button. Make sure this lock rod is all the way up. Take the button, slide it into position, and then push down on the lock part. Make sure it works properly. And you're all set.

Hi. I'm Tony, with 1A Auto, here to talk to you today about the advantages of buying a quality, name-brand part for your vehicle, like this tow-mirror upgrade from Trail Ridge Truck Accessories.

Now, at first glance, this part may look nearly identical to a comparable, generic mirror that we brought to show you, but upon further inspection, the difference is clear between the fit and finish, the quality of the parts, and the attention to detail that really makes this mirror from Trail Ridge Truck Accessories a quality part that lasts.

The generic mirror already has a large scratch going across the face of the mirror, and there's pitting around the edges where the reflective material is already starting to fail. This mirror from Trail Ridge uses a very high-quality reflective material, as well as being a defrosting upper and panoramic mirror, where this one only has a defrosting upper mirror.

The Trail Ridge mirror has a much finer, more uniform finish. Another great benefit to these mirrors is the caps are interchangeable, so you have all this selection, on top of being a quality fit and finish on the largest section of your mirror, which is what the majority of people looking at your truck are going to see.

There’s nice clean metal on the hinge for this mirror. The generic part is already rusting out on the hinge. It's brand new. It's never been exposed to the elements. It's rusting out already.

We have the same color sockets on the generic mirror. The ends have waterproofing in them. Somebody did this very quickly. They also have steel contacts on them. On the Trail Ridge Truck mirrors, the sockets are color coded. We know which one goes where. We have a brass contact that's not going to corrode, and it's going to conduct electricity much more smoothly.

The wiring on the Trail Ridge mirror uses the OEM color coding, so all of these colors and pin-outs are going to match up for the factory wiring colors, as well as the pin locations. This generic mirror used whatever color wiring they had around. The wires in the Trail Ridge mirror are also a much heavier gauge. It also comes with an adapter harness for the earlier model trucks, that weren't as feature packed as the newer ones, which while still using the same bolt-on application, will have a different wire harness connector.

The Trail Ridge truck mirror still has that cool tinted look without being so dark that you're not going to be able to see your turn signals and side markers. The motor on the generic mirror is very loose. I can move this very easily by hand. The Trail Ridge truck mirror has nice smooth movement. It actually takes a little bit of force. These are zero-clearance motors, which means they're a lot more accurate. If you're using your mirror switch and you adjust it, when you let off, that's where it's staying.

We have a higher quality steel here. The ends are nice and secure, where you can see these are all bent up and banged up already.

On top of the physical differences that you've seen here in this comparison, these Trail Ridge truck mirrors also come backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, as well as the support of a toll-free call center, and online instructional videos and tips to help you make the best out of every upgrade. So if you want a set of these for your work truck or toy hauler, be sure to check them out. Available exclusively from 1AAuto.com.
