Mirror replacement

Anyone replace a mirror yet? Difficulty levels? Seems a 4x4 chunk of lumber had it out for me yesterday on the Hardy toll road....

considering since several members have upgraded to https://www.clearviewmirrorsusa.com/ not that hard.

depending on availbility of parts you might get insurance to spring for upgraded mirrors.

Look at the Clearview mirror thread. It details the process Pop tweeter off and unplug. Remove plastic screw cover. unplug mirror. Remove 3 bolts. 1 bolt you need an L shaped Torx 10, or remove the door panel. I used the Allen / Hex key L shaped T10 and did it without removing the door panel.

Little heads up and info...
I replaced my OE mirrors with the Clear View...
The Torx size for the OE mirrors are a T-30. When I replaced my mirrors, instead of using the OE bolts (3 per mirror...they are metric, M6 x 18) I used some metric hex bolts, M6 x 20, available at any Lowes/Home Depot.
Hex bolts just make it much easier to take off and put on if you ever need to replace them again.
I like torx, but the slots have a habit of stripping if not done right...once you strip/enlarge/round off a torx head, its the devil to get out. Regular hex just makes it easier.
Just my experience...

Nice...great thing is I work for a German company therefore our bolt bins are full of metric fasteners either in Zinc or A4 Stainless
