Do you mean the part that is secured to the inside of the door with a bolt?
If you want the low-mount mirrors, the mounting holes for your current mirrors won't work. You'll have to drill four new holes per door, possibly install new threaded inserts, and fill the factory holes...and then you'd still have the hole in the inside of the door to worry about. It might be less work to just find a set of doors that have the mirrors you want, especially if your truck doesn't have power windows and/or you're planning a repaint.

I was thinking about just removing the others and filling the hole. They mounting the others right below it the ones I'm looking at have everything to do it with it. Has gaskets and the rifghts scrwws and stuff
