Minimal parts required, after I got the
mirrors I needed a new switch for the driver side control and a new
door module on the passenger side:

These mirrors
retain all the same functions as my original mirrors, but they
fold and are sporty! So here’s what they look like: |
|
|
|
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
J……
|
|
|
|
There you have it sportier, retained
factory setting and got the folding option….What a deal!!!!!
