Some Cadillac Escalade owners report experiencing issues with the driver side mirror turning brown and melting plastic, indicating a potential internal problem with the mirror assembly. Many owners find that a full assembly replacement is necessary, as attempting to repair the damaged mirror may not be effective due to the extent of the damage. Replacing the entire mirror assembly ensures that all components, including the mirror glass, housing, and internal mechanisms, are in optimal condition. It is essential for owners to consider compatibility with their specific Cadillac Escalade model, including features like heating and turn signals, as well as the quality of the replacement part. Some owners prefer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement mirror assemblies for precise fitment and quality, while others may explore aftermarket options, ensuring they meet the necessary specifications and standards.
