MonteC Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 how does the mirror go into the mirror housing? does the mirror it self just pop out or do i have to swap out the whole mirror and housing? mine is missing just the mirror and i have a parts car to get what i need, i just need to know how it comes out and goes back on.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 If its just missing the glass, you shoud be able to buy a replacement glass that just gets glued in place, If it is the whole assembly, i Beleive that it is held in by either 2 or 3 screws on the bottom of the mirror housing. I'm guessing that this is on your grandprix, right?? Quote

Supreme Cutlass Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Two screws on the bottom. For the ENTIRE thing, the screws are behind the door trim panel. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 2 or 3 bolts hold it on. Take off the door panel (on GP anyways). My glass was cracked so I took the mirror off and brought it to a glass place, they put on new glass for $20. Quote
Prospeeder Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 i just took mine off and repainted them, thers 3 bolts, and the connector for power mirrors, gotta take the side panel off, and theres a rubber plug in there too Quote

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 mirror pics? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/dave64/for%20sale%20and%20ebay/S2400006.jpg Quote
MonteC Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 can i just pop a new mirror in it? pop one out of my parts car and pop it into my daily drivers housing? Quote
Justin Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 That's way different from my CS. Is that a manual mirror? The CS has an X shaped metal piece that is used for the hinge between the glass and motor, it just clips into each piece. Quote
MonteC Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 ya its manual, well to the point that you have to move a knob in the car to move the mirror. see the knob on the right hand side of the picture? Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 you should just be able to get the glass glued onto that... there's pretty much no way to take that bracket out, and be able to put it back in... unless you do some fancy drilling and the like... I think, anyway, :shock: Quote
MonteC Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 shouldnt there be some prongs or something that fit into those middle holes? so you can just push the mirror into place? Quote
MonteC Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Posted September 25, 2005 im just gonna go rip the other mirror out and see what happens. not like grand prix's are scrace or anything. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 im just gonna go rip the other mirror out and see what happens. not like grand prix's are scrace or anything. Yeah. At least it isn't one of those rare 1996 GTP's. Quote
