drivers side door removal

so i got a set of rust free doors off a bronco.
taking the passengers side door off i found the disconnect plastic snaps in the kick panel...no so lucky on the drivers side.

...and I could go for those mirrors! I'm rebuilding my doors now and was planning on reusing my 200k mile f250 power mirrors. These should bolt right up and look the same - just be (presumably) newer, right?

Nice! I'll probably have to do some hunting for doors myself. Window motor or the regulator is f'ed and the metal holding the door latch sheared off. Rear door locks don't work, but that's cheaper and easier than replacing the door internals.
