Any tutorial on how to remove side mirrors?

[luke87gt]

Hi guys, I'd like to remove the side mirrors to spray them since they are faded and looking for some directions on how to remove them.

Would someone be able to advise?

Thanks, much appreciated.

i think you open the door, pop off the sail panel, undo the connector and unbolt.

Is that all? The door panel doesn't even have to come out??

Yes the door panel need to come off. An order to take of the side mirror

Actually in the midst of doing the stereo so here's a pic of the mirror.
Lift the elbow pad off (snap on) and then remove screws behind handle and door handle pull.
The rest of the door panel is just a snap in.
3 bolts hold the mirror.

Elbow pad is a snap in. Lift up to remove.
One screw behind the elbow pad.
pop out the cosmetic trim behind the door handle.
There's one screw securing the door handle.
The entire door panel is snap in so pull gently an off it comes.
Remove the trip over the mirror to expose the 3 nuts.
Tighten and then reverse the order.
