Chevrolet Tahoe Power-Fold Mirror Repair

2007-2014 Tahoe (GMT900 generation) — the retraction feature stopped working, and the mirror won't fold in or out.

The Tahoe from this generation shares its power-fold mirror assembly with the Suburban, Yukon, Yukon Denali, and Escalade of the same years — all built on GM's GMT900 full-size platform. If your Tahoe's mirror makes a faint electric buzzing sound when you press the fold button but doesn't actually move, or has gone completely silent, the cause is almost always the same one part: a small plastic spur gear inside the motor housing that has cracked or stripped its teeth.

What we fix on the Tahoe

• Mirror won't fold in or out (broken spur gear — most common cause)
• Mirror makes a clicking or grinding sound (see clicking noise and motor grinding)
• Mirror glass vibrates at highway speed (a sign the gear has play in it — read the story behind why on our About page)

Full process: you remove the mirror (see our removal instructions), ship it to our shop, and we repair and return it — pricing starts at $279 for our gear + motor repair service, with a 3-day turnaround and 1-year warranty.
