mirror replacement

I thought some guys and gals here would like to hear my mirror replacement story here we go, and I took pictures but cant pull them from my computor and add them to photo bucket .
1. three rubber gromits will be where the nuts to the mirror are and one nut behind a whether strip the nuts take a 11mm deep socket I ( used heavy dutie double back tape) so the nuts dont fall down by the speaker.
2. the plastic cover pops off pretty easy.
3. remove the electric window control on the arm rest.
4. a 7mm socket to remove one screw
5. lift the door panel up and gently pry the top of the panel off of the seal.
6. have a 41/2 '' 2x to hold the top of the panel away from the door.
7. the connection plug will be down about 8'' I used needle nose plyers and a small flat bar to disconnect.
8 ( before you pull the wires out tie a 2' piece of string line on the connection and then remove the mirror).
9. tie string on new connection and pull it back thru , it my take two people one to hold the mirror and one to start the nuts (remember to use the double sided tape) its a long way to go fishin a nut.
and put it all back together, as soon as I can pull up some pics I will post. total time for replacement was 1/2 hr
