johnyboy1976 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 The loom that goes into mirror also goes into door card - i thought there might have been a plug near the actual mirror housing but there aint. Also got no idea how to remove door cards so bit stuck. When i took mine off my car i just chopped the wiring as was putting no adjustable lightweight mirrors on but this is the wifes and im putting some RTP cf mirror cases on. Pain in the bloody arse - already cut all my bloody fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briano Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 you can change a mirror johny without taking the door card off but the door card is easy to remove their is a walk through in the wiki and all you need is a screwdriver, then a 10mm bit for the 3 bolts holding the mirror on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
