| These mirrors
retain all the same functions as my original mirrors, but they
fold and are sporty! So here’s what they look like: |
|
| Another: |
|
Let’s get with
the install, the door panels for both driver and passenger side
must come off, I also disconnected my negative battery feed for
reasons of working around the airbags and I will be installing new
parts so I want them to sync up properly. I also found it easier
with the windows rolled down!!! The pics speak for themselves,
but I’ll narrate for you.
I started out
with the driver side, first I removed the window, mirror
adjustment and window lock switch. Use what you will to pry them
out, but I have best luck with a plastic panel puller kit I have: |
|
| After the front
side is loose, pry up the back: |
|
| Then it just
slides out: |
|
| And unplug the
3 connectors on the back: |
|
| Now I moved on
to the seat memory button, this pulls out with ease: |
|
| Now the lower
entry light, first pop out the plastic light cover: |
|
| Now the lock,
the top cover will pop off with your finger nail: |
|
| Then a pair of
spring hinged needle nose pliers to separate the pin and pull it
up: |
|
Now pop off the
door handle plug in the center of the interior door handle to
reveal a Philips head screw. After releasing that you need to
grab the door handle, pull out slightly and up, this will release
the finisher at the top of the panel [see next pic]. Then you
need to slightly twist the door handle mechanism [silver handle]
and feed it through the hole. Next you need to undo the speaker
cables before you can walk away with the door panel.
Here’s a pic
with the door panel removed. You’ll be able to see the panel
hooks at the top of door: |
|
| And then how
they hook on the panel: |
|
| Now take the
mirrors off, there are 3 screws holding these on, 1 of 3: |
|
| 2 and 3 of 3: |
|
| Now feed the
old mirror cable out and put the new in, I replaced all the zip
ties I had to clip off to remove old cables: |
|
| New mirror on
but not bolted down yet, don’t forget to bolt it down: |
|
| Now start the
reassembly of the door panel. Make sure you transfer any of the
rubber / sponge washers that may be stuck to the door to the door
panel clips: |
|
| Here’s the
panel clips with the washers: |
|
| Driver Side
done, moving onto the passenger, I like them!!!!: |
|
| Passenger side
comes off just the same. To replace the door module just release
2 Phillips screws and put in the new one. Here’s a pic of the new
module: |
|
| And here’s
where it goes, this is a pic of my OLD module: |
|
| Reinstall
everything on the passenger side, reconnect the battery and take a
look at these.....: |
|
| Another: |
|
| There you have it sportier, retained
factory setting and got the folding option….What a deal!!!!! |
