Removing Wing mirror unit
« on: August 29, 2015, 03:28:49 pm »
Hi guys wanting to remove the complete wing mirror unit

What is the best way to go about it? Remove the inside door card? How do i remove the speaker which sits on top off the door card?

Any guides with pictures out there? Thanks

I did this the other day;

Inner door trim off, disconnect all wires.

Speaker trim came off easilly enough with a trim removal tool.

3 bolts to undo wing mirror unit, one is behind a black plastic cover.

Wing mirror should come off easilly.

Getting it back on is a PITA!

Thanks mate, seems fairly easy watching that video.

What bit was a PITA to put back on?

The trim around the door frame/window wasnt much fun.
