removing side view mirrors

[macsak]

is it possible to remove the side mirrors to take off the black piece that joins the mirror to the body so we can send it to the plug guy for painting?

Going stir crazy on that Island? :)

I don't know how to do it, but I advise you take care to get a good seal afterwards. The mirror gaps are a popular source of wind whistle.

Did you ever get a response to this? I just had both of my mirrors stolen (broken off at the bracket). I need to figure out how to take this apart to replace the bracket and mirror.

That sux - sorry to hear :(

Anyhow, if you pop the inside triangle "sail" piece off, there should be 2 (IIRC) screws holding it from the inside.

To pop the sail, use a small screwdriver or panel puller and pry it from the bottom gently about 1/2 an inch (take care to protect the door leather trim w/ a towel or such). Once it pops free (about 1/2" or so), wiggle it up to slide it off completely.

Good luck :)
