Default Removing Side-View Mirrors

Hey, does anyone know how to remove the sideview mirror, as in the whole stock piece from the body? Thanks

yes. I know. It's a biatch.

Remove the door panel, remove the mach 460 tweeter, remove the mirror.

It's really easy but troublesome finding out for yourself that the screws that hold the mirror on are behind a speaker that you have to take the door panel off to get reasonable access to.

Oh yeah... don't forget to disconnect the 2 wire clips.

Are you sure, it took but 3 mins to remove mines on my vert...

took me about 15 minutes per side having never done it before. It was easiest to use my process with the Mach460 tweeters connected to the mirrors. I was at my tuner's shop when I replaced mine and he was the one that told me how to start.

What year is your vert? I have a 03GT coupe...maybe a tad different.

But you did remind me of 1 step I forgot, you can pop off the speaker cover on the tweeters and get in that way. Still have to pull the door panel to get fat hands like mine to the little wire clips.

cuz I couldn't get to the wires that control my mirror without removing the door panel completely. They're wire tied to other wires where I couldn't get to them, but they had to be removed, thus remove the door panel. I tried removing just the arm rest with all the controls in it but couldn't get my big hands in there far enough to cut the wire ties.

Pay attention, they were tied to other wires where I couldn't get to them, but they had to be removed... they had to be removed because the mirrors were broken in half (don't ask) , the wires weren't cut, just the zip ties holding the mirror and speaker wires to other parts of the harness had to be cut. Are you clear on why removing the door panel was required now. Jesus tap dancin' christ dude.. read, comprehend, then respond. Mixing up the order isn't going to help you.
