Hey All,

I need your guidance guys, so all the help would be appreciate!

When i brought my car, i noticed that the Mirror on the drivers side is damaged so i am currently looking into buying the parts for this and save some money fitting it me self.

BUT

How do i go about removing the electric mirror switch and window winder handle off?!

I know the door cards have poppers as i have had to pop some of the bottom ones to fit in new speakers.

I cant help you remove the Eletric Stick for the mirrors but to get the Widow winder off Theres a plastic part that pulls back and spins round and reveals a screw. Hope that helps.

Hey Wul3er

Thanks for your post every little helps!

I had a lil play about today during me lunch break at work i think it may just be a case of taking the winder off, popping the door card off and there just being an electric connector to the stick which just unplugs (I hope

) but will find out sooner or later

Thanks for your help again

You guys, I want to get into the door behind the card to see if I can chop down the door door pins for the plastic covers to fit flush when the car is locked!

I'm trying to get the rear doors done first but doubt the fronts will be any easier, I have popped all the poppers I can find and taken the winder handlew off but it still seems stuck fast behind the door release handle on the inside. How do I get it loose?

There are screws under the cover of the grab handle too!

That would be the problem then!

Yep, one is quite 'deep', so you'd require a longer screwdriver to get at it, if you know what I mean

when you cut it down dont take it off the end as you will need to recut the thread on the end for the pin. take it out of the middle and then rejoin it with a chock block connector
there is also one screw near the tweeter on the front door

I cant find these screws behind the handles at all, are they behing the handle or the release lever or what?

Im figuring the treaded rods will somehow be able to come out and I will just be able to cut it from the bottom and then place it back in however it is held.

if you pull the door trigger on the inside and look at the rear you will see a gap has opened, stick a screw driver in there and lever it against the chrome trigger, the insert in the handle will then pop off
