mirror replacement question

[DANMKII]

Hi Guys,

I've searched and couldn't find an answer to this. I thought I'd asked the folks here before I dive into this project.

My driver side mirror suffered a stress crack, as as result I purchased an whole new (used) mirror and am ready to install it. My question is, do I need to remove the door card or can I just pop out the mirror control piece, and remove the 3 bolts, and reinstall the new mirror?

I've replaced mirrors on different cars before and some do require removal of the door cards.

Any help is greatly appreciative! Regards, Dan

no need to remove the door panel. be carefull w/ the 3 screws, though. it's easy to drop them down inside the door.

Okay, I ran into another snag. I removed the mirror switch and plastic triangle cover. My issue now is, I only see 2 torx screws and one is behind a very hard to reach spot.

What tool is needed to remove that third torx screw? Thanks!

yeah, I have the same problem, what tool do you use to get in there?

omg, you can just go right to it... there is a aluminum colored sticker over the hole....

I am so dumb...
