You may buy a Honda car, which is one of the easiest to fix or replace the parts.

I always feel so frustrated when a part of my car gets damaged but these videos showing me how simple the repair actually is gives me the confidence I need to tackle what I need to do. Thank you

I just want to thank you for this video. It took my husband and I about 15 minutes to do this. Thanks alot

@OilPastel10 Год назад

just got my mirror completely broken. I still want ch chris fix to this day and am glad i can come back 8 years later and still find what i need - me from december 2022

@tdmfan750 4 года назад

Years later, I now have my own 2005 Trailblazer, and this will definitely help me when I decide to upgrade my stock, manual everything mirrors to ones with power adjust, heat, and integrated turn signals (according to the TrailBlazer forums, they're plug and play 9 times out of 10, minus drilling the hole for the mirror control stick.)

@adnan256 3 года назад

Omg how much the quality has improved and how much Chris has grown including his tools lol

@billybull7419 2 года назад

I mean this is quality too

@JoAnnEunice 7 лет назад

Thanks for that Chris. I've checked out a ton of how-to's and most have been helpful for whatever I've been trying to repair. However, your videos are put together much, much nicer than all the others I've seen. Not only is the quality (both sound and visual) excellent but you don't talk down to me. You don't speak to me as if I know absolutely nothing about - in this case - a flat head screwdriver and a 10mm socket, door panel clips and wires. I appreciate that very much. this is the only video of yours I've seen and now I'm curious to look at some others - even if I don't need to fix whatever it is. Thanks very much. Oh, and I also wud like to know why you cover your identifying features?:)

@MrBillybooth 6 лет назад

I watched 3 or 4 of these before I did yours. Your's is the best by far. Thanks.

@davidmorris9668 8 лет назад

Thanks, sir! That was really great and methodical. I am looking forward to replacing a mirror of a different vehicle. There were some really good pointers to look for as I peal apart my door. Merry Christmas!

@AvengerOnCall 5 месяцев назад

Def a great in-depth tutorial but I'm so glad my Nissan has a separate cover for that without taking off the whole door cover 😂 almost gave my coworker $40 to not have to do all that myself (just cause I didn't have the time and he seems to always find himself with too much time in his hands 😂). Thank you!

Nice job Chris

@DJR5280 10 лет назад

Good ol Philly ! Good video as always Chris, one thing i have learned when working on cars(especially interior bits) is patience is the key to success. I see some people trying to pry a lot of things off especially around the door handle and end up causing more damage then when they started.

@chrisfix 10 лет назад

DJR5280 Thanks man! Yea, the key is definitely patience! It also helps to know where the clips are and the litte tricks to remove them.

@normancassady6624 8 лет назад

Thanks Chris I'm pretty good at do it myself mechanics , But I was afraid of breaking clips Because I wasn't sure where they were located. Your video showed me exactly where they were located and exactly how to do it only took 30 mins and never broke nothing Excellent video Thanks a lot, Also I'm looking to change a front Bumper on my 2004 Trail Blazer any Video's from you on that would be helpful to.

@JustCurtiss 8 лет назад

Hey ChrisFix! New fan here whos watched like 40-50% of your content in the last like three weeks lol. RU-vid problems, but anyways I noticed you never really had any videos of replacing actual door handles and their cables. I have a Ford Ranger XLT with doors that open to the back seat, unfortunately both back doors have door handle problems that dont work, and one was really butchered by the previous owner to the point the entire cable needs to be replaced. The doors open much like how your truck does, where you need to open the front door before the back. Realizing that you probably dont have this problem and the work wouldnt need to be done to your car, but you would awesome if you could make a video of a scrap yard truck that has the process door handles and cables removal. Thank you for your great content, and maybe one day i may see a video on this!

@TheBushcraftBrothers 10 лет назад

Great video once again. Thats annoying that someone would steal that. Compared to my Ranger, that procedure for the Trailblazer seems quite a bit more involved. At least you've got yourself a heated mirror now.

@chrisfix 10 лет назад

***** I never did it on the ranger, how involved is it?

@TheBushcraftBrothers 10 лет назад

Well I haven't actually changed the mirror, but from the looks of it (the inside of the door panel) it appears much easier than on this vehicle.

@ynotgemini526 9 лет назад

Thank you for the video now can do it myself and not pay for it to get fixed very helpful!

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

anthony biddle Great! That is why I make these "how to" videos! I am glad it was helpful and let me know how it goes!

@ynotgemini526 9 лет назад

Ok will do

@LIPDProductionsInc 7 лет назад

If I need to take out the mirror to install an under-mirror intersection light, I assume I use the same method you did in this video?

@CharlieTheTexan 9 лет назад

I know this video's old, but I was thinkin of it today while I replaced the driver's side rearview on my 2010 Ranger..... The panel was definitely not as tricky as the one in this video, but I did learn one thing from havin to deal with the whole thing: steer well clear of traffic barrels when you're goin fast..... On the bright side, I was able to lube up my window tracks and remove the chatter I've been dealin with for about a year.... hahaha!

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

TheCharlieLow This video isnt old lol. I will answer comments on any video (even ones that are 3yrs old). That is a good tip LOL! I need to take my ranger door pannel off too because I have a rattle that is driving me crazy!

@CharlieTheTexan 9 лет назад

ChrisFix I don't know how the door panel is in your Ranger, but all I had to do was remove all the screws and raise it up about an inch or so to clear the lock and that did the job. I used WD-40 to clean and lubricate the vertical bar in there, and it worked like a charm.

@aleblanc3547 10 лет назад

@camryle5590 10 лет назад

beautiful video. I have a small advice for you: when you are using the screwdriver in interior tape its head with electric tape. I learned that from toyota repair manual.

@chrisfix 10 лет назад

@camryle5590 10 лет назад

ChrisFix thanks for your reply

@kathyprice9085 8 лет назад

Chrisfix, do you know if the knob to adjust the sideview mirrors is replaceable or not. Mine somehow fell into the door. I watched your video and it seems to be attached to the inside door panel that you removed. any suggestions? Your video makes changing a sideview mirror look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to post.

@chrisfix 8 лет назад

+Chelsea Price Hey Chelsea, I am not sure honestly.

@lydiar1549 2 года назад

I want to reattach mine, not replace it. it's a 2001Alero. I had fixed it with epoxy glue applied to the area that seats the mirror to the car mirror " holder" ( dunno correct term ) This vid helped, thanx.

@kennethrosbury2819 5 лет назад

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi sport es 3.5 and my mirrors don't work and I don't know why also my overhead lights don't work I took the negative wire off of the battery and hooked a tester to it why it was off then I touch the negative battery terminal and the test light came on I narrowed it down to the overhead fuse circuit and I don't know what the problem is yet but the mirror switch I would like to know how to test to see if it's bad I would appreciate some help I've been looking online and I can't find anything about it thank you so much and I love your program

@zensniper21 9 лет назад

Hey Chris, great vid, quick question, you think the side mirrors with turn signals with work on a 02 LS. I have a busted side mirror and thinking of replacing both but it seems better with turning signals

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

***** I am not 100% sure but I think you can buy the ones with the turn signals and it should be plug and play. Dont quote me on that.

@chrisfix 10 лет назад

$zackiscoolify$ Yes I can, I am about 2 months behind on videos so stay tuned.

@SandClockCinema 7 лет назад

If the motor is bad do you still have to replace the whole mirror? I have a 04 Trailblazer LS is the wiring there for the turn signal? If I replace the mirror with turn signal as mine does not have one will I be able to use it? Mine is heated too.

why we dont buy another mirror cover to put it on ? we need to change all the hold mirror ? my car Buick 2016 also have this problem , should i order the new cover in ebay it is 45$ per one side

@yangchangjiang 9 месяцев назад

The Honda cars are the easiest to deal with. There is a socket close to the mirror, then you can replace it without removing the door panel.

@helioacid8182 6 лет назад

I hate the stock mirrors on theses is there any after marker options

@chrisfix 6 лет назад

Probably not. The plastic is molded to fit the door where it sits. With that said, if you’re creative you can use an aftermarket mirror and make it work.

@cartellove6 10 лет назад

How do i take the panel off the very back of the door like the trunk area where the glass opens, mine is like broken or some piece inside is loose. Need help.

@zx8401ztv 10 лет назад

Dam shame some Bas***d nicked the outer cover :-(( Smashing job :-)) I did notice the odd clothes change mixed with other operations lol, perhaps the next day or you had to go out somewhere, and i suspect some audio dubbing, but if you are doing that its really really hard to tell as the quality is almost constant. Your editing skill is brilliant, i find myself not thinking about the editing or the possibility that you had a break or other distractions so the real time taken was much longer than the video. I agree with the larger nuts/washers, it spreads the force over a larger area :-)) Ooow you called the nuts "bolts" at one stage, perhaps the generic term "fasteners" would be easyer to use, and stop nit picking by people like me lol :-))

@chrisfix 10 лет назад

zx8401ztv Thanks again bud! Yea sucks people have to resort to stealing. I had to stop filming because the wind was getting so bad you couldnt hear what I was saying. Without the editing, the whole video would take hours to watch and the wind would drive you crazy lol. I did mess up calling a nut, a bolt. It happens lol.

@zx8401ztv 10 лет назад

ChrisFix Please understand chris, i wasnt picking fault in any way, it shows that i never skip parts of your videos, im sorry i repeat myself but you make perfect cristal clear videos :-)) EricTheCarGuy uses "fasteners", its a good generic word, less to remember :-)

@TheJdubb75785757 8 лет назад

I just bought a mirror for my 03 trailblazer. The problem is they sent me a heated one and my truck doesn't have heated mirrors. Can I still use it without the heat and still use my adjustable knob?

@chrisfix 8 лет назад

You should still be able to use it

@TheJdubb75785757 8 лет назад

+ChrisFix Ok. I bought it because the plastic housing on my truck is broke but the glass is good. is there anyway to just use my glass in the new housing you know of?

how do I remove the back door panel on a extend cab ranger I cant find any screws and I don't want to just go to pulling on it

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

Levi Prewitt I am not sure. My Ranger doesnt have a rear door. I would check for panel clips. There is no info on any of the ranger forums? What year ranger do you have?

@leviprewitt1566 9 лет назад

I got it off and the speakers I got didn't fit came with a radio.

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

Levi Prewitt At least you can just keep it off until you get speakers that fit!

@leviprewitt1566 9 лет назад

when I swaped the front one I seen one them it was premium sound so im going to leave the back ones
