Video Transcript for K-Source Manual Extendable Towing Mirrors Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Speaker 1: Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're gonna be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the K Source custom extendable towing mirrors, part number KS62137-38G. And these nice mirrors are gonna replace your factory OEM mirrors. It's gonna have a nice durable plastic, textured, black finish. Both driver and passenger mirrors are gonna have a telescoping feature that will extend up to four inches to give you a much greater line of sight. These mirrors are gonna be manually adjusted. However, you have full range of how you move them.

And you're also gonna have a spotting mirror. Again, it's gonna be fully adjustable.What's great about these mirrors is if you're towing a lot, you're not gonna have to worry about taking them off and on like the portable mirrors. They're gonna be more permanent fixture.To start our installation, we're gonna have to remove our door panel. First thing we have to do is remove our door handle. Now, there's a special tool you're gonna have to get, and you can find it at any auto parts store, and it's gonna look like this.

There is a clip on the inside that comes up around it. When you push down, it releases that clip, and you'll slide the handle out. If you do not use that tool, you will take a chance, a very good chance of damaging everything inside of here, so I would suggest spending the couple extra dollars to get it.We can use a little flathead screwdriver. I'm gonna use a pick tool. We're gonna have a small panel here behind your door panel.

Pop that out. And we're gonna have one screw here we need to remove by using a 7mm socket. You're gonna have a cap here you need to remove. You're gonna have two. We're using the same socket.

Then I'm gonna take a magnet to pull that screw out. You don't have one, needle nose pliers will work too, just something to grab it. And we're gonna have two bolts down on the bottom of our panel. Same socket, 7mm. Then we'll take a trim panel tool, and we're just gonna slowly work our way around up to the top.The reason we have to take our door panel off, is this trim piece right here is down underneath it on each side. So we'll start here in the corner, or wherever, and just work your way around. And when we get it loose, what we need to do is this piece right here, we're gonna pull up with it. So if you pull out just a little bit, pull up like that. Make sure you watch out for your locking tab there. And then you're gonna have a wire plug here that goes to your locks. Go ahead and disconnect that, and then we can set this down just like this.Next, we'll just pop out these little push pins here, just work our way around just like that. We'll set this aside, and we're gonna have three nuts that are holding our factory mirror on. We'll be using a 10mm socket for those. Just like that.Now you're gonna notice, this is gonna be your factory mirror. You can see it only has three screws, where your new towing mirror is gonna have four. So these are gonna be our three factory holes. Our fourth hole is gonna be right here. We're gonna start by drilling a pilot hole. I'm gonna use a tap here for a hole punch. Try and get to the center of the hole like that, and we're gonna do our pilot hole first. You just wanna make sure it's small.Next, we're gonna open it up to 3/8". Now because that's open metal, even though it's not really gonna hit the weather at all, just in case any moisture does get in here, I'm gonna take a white paint marker and cover that up.And we'll fit our new mirror into place. Now, it's not gonna come with the nuts to mount it, so we're gonna reuse the same ones, existing ones. Now, we're gonna have a fourth one, so what I did, I just found a nut and a flat washer, and we're gonna put it on there. Just one that'll fit. And that's up to you. I would suggest putting it on to make sure it seals all the way around. Now we can tighten everything up.Now that we have our mirror installed, we can start reinstalling all of our panels in reverse order from the way we took them off. Make sure, before you put all your screws in, or your bolts back in place . you make sure you plug in that connection that works your power locks. Now the clip that we pulled out, or pushed out, you can go ahead and push that all the way back in, make sure you put your plastic ring on, and we're just gonna push our handle back into place like that.Once you get one side done, you're gonna repeat the same process on the other side of the vehicle. And that'll do it for look at and installation on the K Source custom extendable towing mirrors, part number KS62137-38G, on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
