In a previous post we talked about just how fast, easy and economical it is to replace your broken driver side mirror glass or broken passenger side mirror glass yourself, rather than having the dealership replace the entire mirror head assembly.

We went through the steps and realized that replacing your broken side mirror is a truly worthwhile project, and anything but intimidating, difficult or time consuming…  But I know what you’re thinking…  You’re thinking, “Sure it’s easy to replace a non-heated, non-signal glass, but my mirrors are heated with a turn signal.  There’s electrical components involved!  That’s got to be harder… Right?”

Well guess what???

Replacing a broken heated signal mirror with one of our RSG (Redi-Set-Go) mirrors from Burco is actually easier than replacing a broken side mirror with a Burco Redi Cut!

You don’t believe me???

Below I have listed the steps along with a simple diagram for replacing a broken side mirror with a one of our RSG (Redi-Set-Go) mirrors from Burco.

Step by Step instructions for replacing a broken side mirror with a one of our RSG (Redi-Set-Go) mirrors from Burco®.

Burco Redi Set Go mirror glass comes complete with a motor mount affixed directly to the mirror for easy installation.

1. Remove broken mirror along with the backing plate.
2.  If mirror is heated or signal type, disconnect terminal leads. (Tip: Use a small piece of cardboard or other solid item on edge of mirror head when prying off backing plate to prevent causing damage.)
3. Throw away backing plate and broken mirror glass.
4. If heated or signal type auto mirror glass, reconnect terminal wires to new Burco Redi Set Go mirror glass
5. Align and snap in the new Burco Redi Set Go mirror glass.

 And that’s that! Couldn’t be easier right?

This is far and away the question we are asked the most!  Afterall with dealerships charging $500.00, $600.00, maybe even $1000.00 or more to replace the mirror head assembly…  Replacing just the driver side mirror glass or passenger side mirror glass is an attractive and economical alternative!

The thing is…  Some folks can be intimidated by tackling a project like this themselves, they worry that it will be too difficult or time consuming.  This couldn’t be further from the truth!  Replacing a broken side mirror is actually quite fast and easy!

Let’s have a look at what it takes.  Below I have listed the steps along with a simple diagram for replacing a broken side mirror with one of our best selling replacement auto mirror glass options, the Burco Redi Cut®.

Step by step installation instructions for replacing a broken side mirror with a Burco Redi Cut® replacement auto mirror glass.

1. Remove all existing glass from the mirror head’s plastic inner platform (backing plate).
2. Clean backing plate with rubbing alcohol.  Clean back of replacement mirror with Burco Window Glo® or other glass cleaner.
3. Apply the Burco Redi Stick® adhesive patches to the replacement auto mirror glass back or to the backing plate itself.
4. Align and press replacement auto mirror glass to the backing plate.
5. Clean the installed Burco Redi Cuts® mirror with Burco Window Glo® or other urethane-safe glass cleaner.

Are you looking for a set of 8 lug center caps for your Chevrolet or GMC truck?  Chances are you’ve found quite a few!  The problem is you want a set that bolts on rather than snaps on so you don’t have to worry about them falling off or being stolen… Right?  Well look no further because TODAY is your LUCKY DAY!

This is a set of four (4) aftermarket 8 lug bolt on center caps with threaded bolt caps compatible with most Chevrolet or GMC 8 lug wheels.  They were designed to fit the following vehicles with 8 lug wheels:

2000-2010 Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Suburban & Chevrolet Van (1500, 2500, 3500)
2000-2010 GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon, GMC Suburban & GMC Van (1500, 2500, 3500)

Keep in mind that these are not universal center caps, these are bolt on center caps.  

Your wheels need to be of the correct size and specifications for these to work, and your lug nuts need to have outside thread for the center caps to tighten down on.  All bolt on center caps and bolt on hubcaps are made to fit a particular wheel.  The depth that the center cap or hubcap sits need to be perfect in order for the locking mechanism to reach the lugs and every wheel is different.  Also the holes in the center cap or hubcap need to be the same distance apart as the wheel in order to bolt up and this differs from model to model.  Basically what I’m trying to say is, there are no universal hubcaps or center caps which are “bolt on”  because every vehicle is different.

With that in mind these center caps will fit most 8 lug GM wheels including those pictured below:
