GTPrix Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 My car made a clsoe encounter with an orange construction barrell today on the side of the freeway at about 70mph, and now i need a new pass. side mirror for the cutty :oops: , to replace it, do i just need to pull the door panel off from the inside??? - Drew Quote
slick Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 Take off the door panel. Up where the mirror is, thers a little foam/rubber insert piece, thats of course if it didn't fall out. Take it out, and there should be 3 nut/bolt combo. Undo that, and wa la. Quote
GTPrix Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Posted September 12, 2004 The mirror snapped off pretty clean, but i can see the rubber bushing from the outside. Thanks for the help. Quote
slick Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 Oohh, it snapped off. Are the holes still there to mount a new mirror?? But other than that, my description is how you take off a mirror...... properly Quote
maybe2fast Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 yeah there are ways around taking the door panel off... Quote
GTPrix Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Posted September 13, 2004 well the housing that is basically flush with the window is still there, but the rest snapped off... Quote
GP1138 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah, my car kissed a telephone pole about a week after I started driving it and I lost that same mirror. Just recently replaced it- just pull back the door panel enough to torque down the nuts- you'll need a deep socket. That's basically what I did. Quote
