69' remote mirror disassemble?
Going to send my mirror on rechrome and have to disasseble it first, but where do i start? Can I just pop the glas or how is it fixed? And does anybody know where I can get new mounting bolts to this mirror?
Thanks!
Thanks!

If it's like other remote mirrors, which I think it is, once you get it off the car, you'll see that you can remove the pivoting mirror assembly by removing a couple screws. Then you can also remove the base as well.

Im stuck at this point, how do I get the wires through the base? Should I disassemble the wire at the mirror or at the lever?

Which ever looks easier.
I had had the remote wires off of the lever end before but it's been a long time but I know for a fact that you can remove the cables from the lever end of a 70 sport mirror and reinstall them. Hopefully, somoene will chime in with more recent personal experience but I would remove the ables from which ever end is easiest.
Have you removed the mirror from the housing so that you can see how the cables attach to the mirror?

Hopefully someone with some experience could answer to that!

The ends of the cables have little cylinders on them that fit into a block with three spaces for the cables. The block is spring loaded so you have to pull the cables up while holding the block down. The fitting that the cables go into only fits into the chromed plate that screws to the door one way so it's a good idea to mark which cable came out of which hole/slot so you put them back in the right place. If you don't, pushing the lever up might make the mirror go down instead when you get it back together.

Jimpeboy,
When you said, "Im stuck at this point, how do I get the wires through the base? Should I disassemble the wire at the mirror or at the lever?" It sounded like you already had the chrome bezel disonnected from the cable.
If you have the bezel off, are you saying that the lever with cables still attached won't pull through the hole in the base of the mirror? That's what it sounded like to me.
