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:

  • 61-31-6-909-303 - Drivers Door Switch Part Number

  • 61-35-6-904-243 - Passenger Side Door Module Part Number

Enjoy, and remember ALWAYS work safe and I assume NO RESPONSIBILITY for your actions, mechanical abilities or anything that may occur during the nature of the repairs.

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 J:

 

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!!!!!
