Phew managed to get em in but when removing the old mirror, the gasket was a sticky one and it ripped the paint.
Managed to drop all the spacers in the door too... oh well.

Ok this is probarbly a stupid question but how do I fit them on? There are existing holes from the previous mirrors that are perfect spacing for the new mirrors. Do I have to take apart the door or something to get the screws in? Thanks |

Take off door cards, that should be enough. If it's not you may have to loosten and move window winder mechanism etc. I just drilled my holes from the outside put studs on the mirror. Reached in the door (hurt hands LOL) and tightened it up. Oh forgot to mention, it all went bad for me when I dropped a nut, got magentic pickup to retrieve nut. But got that jammed and yeah, eventually got it all out. With much lost skin on the hands....ahh the memories - moral - don't drop anything! |

i and (if you do a search like i did you'll find) many other actually have their bullet mirrors held on with one screw if you just tighten up the one enough that goes into the base of the mirror (the one closest to the back of car) it is enough to hold it on. it's an annoying thing to do so make sure it is tight the first time. |
