My daughter side-swiped a garbage can today. The garbage can is ok. But the passenger side mirror housing is hanging by a cluster of wires. I'm thinking of a used assembly from http://car-part.com/.

The FAQ on the subject states: Mirror Housing Removal. [Query] The paint on my side view mirrors is starting to chip away so I'm going to paint them the same color as the car I just need to figure out how to take them off first. [Response: Dick] Take door panel off (door panel does not need to be removed if mirror is manual adjust.) Remove triangular portion covering mirror mount if electric and if manual, remove it including flex handle. Unplug cable from mirror if electric. Unscrew 3 8mm (I think) bolts holding mirror. Mirror should be in your hands now.

Can anyone elaborate on this procedure? I don't want to break something, such as the triangular portion covering the mirror mount because I don't understant how it comes off.

Also, does anyone have any additional suggestions for how I should proceed?

As always, thanks for your insights and experience.

Robert
