I had a duck hit my passenger side mirror when I had exactly 1900 miles on my new 2014 Silverado. The nearest dealer is 100 miles away. It knocked off the snap-on cap and broke one other part of the housing. Can someone tell me where to find the parts I would need to fix it? There was no other damage than the plastic housing. I would prefer to buy online.

Thanks,
Ron

You can check sites like GMpartsdirect and the like but I am not sure if the parts you broke are repalcable. The cap should be, but the housing would be a whole mirror replacement. Do you have pictures of the damage?

I think you are right. The cap is long gone and the housing near the pivot point is broken and part of it is missing. When I look up the parts on GMpartsdirect I can't tell if their number includes the whole assembly. I have an email in with them to verify what I need. Are you familiar with any other online suppliers that would be affordable?

Thanks,
Ron

There is gmpartsgiant, as well as a few others. My first option would probably be eBay. I am 99% sure if the housing is cracked or broke, you need to replace the entire mirror the only way you would find a housing is if you swapped it off a different mirror, not worth it IMO. You can probably find a mirror on ebay for $250 or so depending on if it is a DL8 or DL3.
