Post by: bearpaw on March 16, 2013, 02:52:46 PM: Thanks for trying to help guys.

My mirrors are the telscoping power without turn signals. Looks like all I can find is aftermarket, but there are two types, square plug or round. I took the mirror off but the wires wouldn't pull out, took the switch paned loose but didn't help. Could figure out how to get the door panel loose.

Does anyone know the trick how to get the inside door panel off?

No, if you do that you will ruin the door panel.

First pull off the top corner piece, pry from the top with your fingers and release the top corner, then pop it the rest of the way off. (pic1)

Then use a flat head screw driver and pop off the light cover found at the bottom of the door. (pic2)

Remove the 7mm screw behind the light cover. (pic3)

Next gently pull up on the front corner of the window switch/mirror switch panel, once the corner is up slide the panel forward. (pic4)

Unplug the window/mirror switch panel and remove the 7mm screw in (pic5)

Now grab the entire door panel and slide the entire thing strait up, the panel will then come right off.

Post by: The Weazle on March 16, 2013, 11:25:47 PM: This is gonna sound stupid, but...I bought my mirror from kool vue, when it arrived it had no directions to speak of, so I googled it, and watched a video of it on you tube. I have found you tube has a video for pretty much everything! Once I saw the video, it took me less than a 1/2 hour to change my mirror, and a lot of that time was getting tools out of the garage!
