Welcome back to Shop Time with TBKHomeworld! In this hands-on DIY tutorial, we show you how to replace the passenger side mirror on a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL. This method works for many GMT800 platform vehicles (1999–2006), including:

✅ GMC Yukon & Yukon XL
✅ Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban & Silverado
✅ GMC Sierra
✅ Cadillac Escalade

In this video, we’re replacing the mirror glass using a Kool Vue heated mirror (model CV49GR-S) that includes a backing plate and turn signal light—but no blind spot indicator. This is a direct-fit, cost-effective repair you can do at home with just a few basic tools.

What sets this video apart?
Most tutorials skip how to safely remove the old mirror—without shattering it. I’ll walk you through the careful method I use to avoid cracked glass and save yourself the mess (and maybe 7 years of bad luck 😄).

Whether you're a seasoned shadetree mechanic or a first-time DIYer, you’ll find step-by-step instructions and tips that make this job simple and doable.
