Post by: allrounda88 on August 02, 2010, 07:50:34 PM
Need some help
I want to remove my old mirrors but i don\'t know what is the best way to do that!
Does anybody have some ideas how I can remove them?
I thought , I remove the front speakers and then i try to get the bold from the mirror!
Thanks for answers

You need to remove the door panels to remove the mirrors.  You cannot remove the speakers either unless you remove the panel.  They are easy to remove, just make sure you remove all hidden screws first.  The passengers side has a tricky one.  You need to pull the window switch out and it is tucked under it.  Both sides have a screw in under the door handle pulls.

You dont need to remove any trim!

\'knock\' the mirror towards the back/into the car this reveals two 10mm bolts undo these and mirror comes away, pull out the cable and disconnect from the plug, job done :-)

As previously stated you need to remove the door panel.

i\'ve always just pulled the plug up through the hole, maybe you do need to remove the door trim to get to the plug, sorry my bad.
