Eagle Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 What type of mirrors, and what five screws? If you have the most common mirrors, which are the rectangular ones that mount to the front triangle of the door vent windows, you start by popping the retainer clips to loosen the interior door trim panel. Lift it up to clear the window channel, then either slide it back a couple of inches or let it drop down. This exposes the interior mount for the mirror. There should be (IIRC) one screw, at the bottom, holding the plastic trim piece on. Remove that, and you'll find three (3) screws holding the mirror itself. I stole this from another thread about mirrors: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automan2164 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Shouldn't have to fold the mirrors to get those off. The ones you are after are three torx screws under the little triangle cover on the inside. Pull the door panel if you care about it, or pull the edge down enough to get to the screw that holds that cover on, and then there will be some foam. Pull off the foam, and the three torx should be staring you in the face. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I had to replace mine. Unscrew all the door hardware and pop the door panel loose. You don't need to worry about the door handle hardware as long as everything is loose. The door panel needs to be loose enough to get to the screw to remove the triangle trim cover.

Put those 5 back where you found them and follow the instructions I posted. You can see the screws I described in the diagram I posted -- that's why I posted it.
