Hey i just picked up my new OEM driverside mirror b.c mine was slammed by a crazy nissan armada 2 weeks ago. Can someone Please tell me how to take the take the driverside paneling off and put the new mirror in. Any help is appreciated

 

Start with thw 2 bolts/screws on the very bottom of the door panel. You have to kneel over to see them.

then use a flat head and pop the black plastic that is behind the interior pull handle. That should expose to bolts. Get those out, and there is a third in there I believe.

You also need to use a flathead and gently pop the cover that goes around all the power windows buttons etc and get that stuff unclipped or at least slip it out.

I think that's it... should be 3 bolts and 2 screws. Then you just pull the whole panel straight up, and off. If it won't budge, you missed something.

I personally have to use a flathead and gently pop off the speaker cover and un-do my speakers to remove my panel, but I think it is just because of my custom mount plate that attaches through the panel itself. Maybe check there if it doesn't budge after everything else.

Good luck

 

Hey Babba - The same thing happened to my mirror, I'm looking to get one online. How much was yours and where did you get it?

I Need Drivers side for a 2005 Lariat supercrew with indicators built in if anyone is there that has one.

 

lundmar thanks for your help, I was able to get my smashed mirror off and like you said used the flat head to get the controll panel off. Unfortunatly i was not able to get the panel back on as easily. Its on there now hanging by a couple of clips. Its soo much harder to get the panel back on. Do you or any body have any tips for geting the panel back on?? its at the point to where I just want to go to the dealership and have them put the panel back on.


My driverside mirror was 179 from the dealership brand new in the box. its a little steep your best bet is problably ebay.

I also just put an order in for an OEM mirror as some crazy took my factory one off. I have aftermarket one's on right now with the little LCD's but in my opinion they look stupid lol...like a ricers

 

No problem. The key is to go in the exact reverse of what you did the first time. I have a feeling the problem is you didn't come STRAIGHT down when you put it back on. Other than that, once you get it slipped back on, you should just be snapping and screwing everything back on.

Oh, make sure the door lock pin is UNLOCKED and up so you can align it in the hole as you drop it on more easily.

 

Ye thanks lundmar im gunna go out and try it now using a little bit more force, its just that there are so many clips, got my groud force kit on and boy its so much better than the DJM handling wise and its higher too, ur truck must be on rails considering how low it is.

 

still havent finished the truck door yet? man i sent those PDFs like a week ago
Do you have any pics of the GF kit now?

 

No worries. I finally got the panel back on today, these little things that the spreaker hex screws thread into were keepin me from getting the panel flat against the door and sliding ALL the clips in so i took them off and did finished the job the proper way this afternoon. Thanks to Lundmar, Pat for the priceless PDFs, and truck 1 I can remove panels now with dealership preicision.(sp?)

Patman-I took some nice shots of the truck today with the 2/3 drop on(thanks to dribone) and hope to make a nice sig at school tomrow and post the pics up

 

haha, yes, it is freakishly well mannered for such a large beast

 

Haha i bet, what drop do ur GF spring give you up front? Do u have new leafs in the back? I think my truck could go lower i just gotta figure out how im guna do it. Heres a pic with my GF 2/3 on
