anyone know how to replace the side mirrors?

 

Probably a retainer screw holds the mirror assembly to an achor assembly, this screw would be near the base someplace. Then the anchor assembly would be removed with bolts from inside the door. Just my guess.

 

thanks...i had to take off the door pannel...took me a while to figureout how to get it off tho lol...it turned out to be pretty easy....all in all it took about an hour....but now that i know how i could probly do it in about 30 min...or 15min per mirror

 

Great! It sure is a goof feeling to do something yourself on your car isn't it?

 

hahaha...ya sure is...and a money saver to....i got annother question for you...wheres the windshield wiper circut card located...my wipers have gone hay wire...they dont stop and when they do they stop half way up or all the way up....never in the right spot

 

I read your post as I was wondering the same thing...how in the heck do I remove the mirror. Mine is aftermarket on the 62 F-85 and it has 1 tiny hole which I assumed to be the securing crew to the underlying anchor. However, after getting a magnifying glass and getting light in the hole I cannot see any indication to tell me what type of fastener is down in there. It's not Allen head nor either screwdriver style that I can tell!

Regardless, when I do get it off (and I will...I must) I assume I will find an anchor plate of some sort bolted to the door. I also assume I will need to remove the door panel to access the back side of those bolts, correct?

Or, can I simply clean and reuse the anchor and attach the new mirror?

Thanks much for help on what seems to be a simple problem but is not covered anywhere in my assembly manuals.

 

Thanks so much for your help!
