I want to replace my left side mirror as it is different then the one on my right side and is the ugly flag style. My question is how do you get the side mirror off? do you pop it off?i took the 3 screws off the door panal but it doesnt seem to want to pop off? how do you do it, thanks its also NOT electric

 

door panel off. if you have manual windows there is two screws behind the the door handle, then one up top then one on the bottom. then pop the cover off the handle crank it swivels out of the way. then there is a torx bit screw behind that. then pull UP on the panel not up. right behind where the mirror is there is a stuck on film pull it off and there is what 10mm nuts that hold it on 3

 

i got the panal off only thing i couldnt get off was the window roller thing you mentioned ill give it a try when i order my mirror thanks

 

how are you getting the panel off with out getting the manual window crank off unless you dont have manual windows

 

the panal is off, but not completely like i can see enough behind it.. you know i just dont know how to get the crank off

 

The plastic cover on the window crank snaps off to reveal a screw on the crank. Thats the way my 2001 is made. Yours should be the same.

 

Remember that the screw in the crank is a torx screw. I'm not sure of the size though. It's around 2 or 3mm.

 

what does torx mean? never heard of it.. is it the "star" type bolt?

 

yep

 

alright sweet how do you pop off the cover to the door crank any special ways? tried a screw driver but that didnt work? thanks

 

Hmm. Mine just pulled off, a flat head screwdriver and some prying would probably work. But who knows. Well I'm sure someone knows.

 

just use a flathead screw driver and pry out, mine both popped off doing that

 

Flathead screwdriver and pry. The screw is a Torx 10

 

I just found out when I was replacing my speakers yesterday that there's a screw on the door panel next to the air vent. It's broken on the left door so I found out when I got on the right side and kept struggling to get the panel off and then realized there had to be something holding it down on that side.

 

really? alright guys ill go give it a shot, need to get a mirror off ebay first.
