- Trying to give back to the community that has guided me. Not a professional mechanic, but an avid tinkerer. I found other guides on the '07 Grand Caravan didn't apply to what I was seeing or otherwise had much harder methods to accomplish the task at hand. Hopefully this helps someone out!

20min total time!!! Those other vids said to fish with your fingers. That wasn't going to happen. One vid said to loosen up dash. Wrong!!! Thank GOD I stumbled on your vid!!! Best Way Hands Down!!!
Thank you for sacrificing your time to help others. Saved me a load of time!
This is the video to watch. He hit it spot on correct about everything and how to take it apart. I watched several videos and he had all the issues addressed where the others did not. Torx 27 bit. 10MM socket for the handle. The only thing I would add is watch this video first. Then open up the dash to determine if 5 or 3 wires to tell if you have heated mirror or not. Then order the mirror. Then replace. Also, my new mirror had a big piece of cushioning that was making it difficult to get screwed back on. If you can salvage the original OEM piece, swap that out on the new mirror.
This is a great video. Lots of detail other videos left out. Thank you. Now it's time to see if I can do it in 15 minutes.
Good video for replacing the mirror. I scored 10 of 10 for getting the mirror working, but only 7 of 10 for style. I couldn't find my 5-pound rubber mallet to "persuade" those 2 darn small trim pieces into place around the hand-hold. Thanks for the well-explained video.
Super helpful. Got stuck following another video with getting under the speaker panel. Had success following yours. Thanks!
This video just saved me hundreds on car repairs! Thank you!
Your video was very helpful. You did a great job explaining everything and the mirror replacement was simple.Thank you for posting this video.
Beautiful! A few subtle differences on my model, but I got it in 30 minutes flat thanks to you!
Thank you so much!! My daughter cracked my mirror coming out the garage 🤦🏽♀️ I am going to do this myself now that I’ve watched your video. You have a new follower in me thanks again. I was scared to try it but you explained it so bc well.
Awesome! Good luck Mary!
One of the better videos on this. On the driver side you do have to pull up on the dash/speaker panel to expose the wire connector under it.
This replacement shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes if you are so mechanically inclined. Even if not mechanically inclined shouldn't take longer than an hour. Such an easy fix as shown here.
Thanks a lot for your dedication and time, I looked for videos for make that, your video is the best and very useful, best regards from Mexico
P_erfect explanation to help me change my '07 Gr. caravan pass. side mirror. Had NO clue that's how to do it, until I watched this video!! THANK YOU!!!
That is my make and model. I saw other videos, but yours was by far the best. I swapped it out today and it was a breeze. I went to buy a 27 torx. I asked them for a torq wrench by mistake. Big
duh. I got the right tool and the hardest part was putting that last piece of plastic back on. I finally used the old part and it was easier. Great video. Thanks, jack
You know, RUclips makes us all neighbors . Thanks for the help. Your video made it easier then apple pie! Wish I could return the favor.
You just did! Thanks.
Very nicely done! I"m ready to tackle this. I didn't think this would be hard but you had a few tips that will save me time and money!
UPdate: took me 15 minutes to get it done to do two mirrors. We have 2 Town and Countries and I was taking one outside mirror and switching it with a cracked one on the nicer of the two vans. Your tips were great. The most difficult process was unplugging the electrical plug. I struggled getting the wire unclipped because I couldn't see the clip since it faces away from the cabin. I wound up taking the entire piece that covers the dash speakers off so that I could see the clip from the outside. Once that was off - bang. When reattaching the final outside plate that you struggled with I placed the top tab in first and then seated the others. - thanks again!
Thanks so much! You should make more videos. This was so helpful
Brent, worked as you said. Thank you. You gave me something to feel good about. MbH.
Thank You your video was a lot of help made the job go much faster.
Exactly what I need to see so I can do this myself. Thanks for the video!
I just ordered my depo side mirror....thanks for the tip!!! I wont have guessed you could order parts on Amazon...its 50.20 Canadian dollars...way better than the quotes I've been getting....newbie in Canada😊
Excelente explicación, con todos los detalles, me fue muy útil para retirar el espejo de mi caravan s.e. 2007. Muchas gracias, abrazo desde Argentina 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
Thanks for sharing, I ll do it as soon as possible:
Thanks mucho. Just what I needed.
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
Thanks to you, I successfully replaced my side view mirror in less than 30 minutes. Your tips were invaluable. And I especially liked seeing you have a little trouble and how you overcame it.
Yeah, thanks so much:)
Good job
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for your information
Thank you. That was great.
"Oh yeah? How is old Grimey?"
@@BrentTech Well... after I got over the electrocution, things were as bad as ever. Homer's still biting my pencils.
Great
👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝
This was helpful, my only question is what is the part number on Amazon ?
The one I used was DEPO 333-5403R3EBH and the non-heated version is DEPO 333-5403R3EB
Thanks but mine is on the driver's side...dunno if it's the same procedure
Another commenter Ifreemantoo said "On the driver side you do have to pull up on the dash/speaker panel to expose the wire connector under it." But the rest of the process should be very similar if not identical.
@@BrentTech thank you!!!!
Chingon video....
