Side Mirror Swap (HELP!!)
OK here's the deal, Car has manual mirrors, bought power mirrors (housing and all) housing is white, car is red.
I want to try and swap the power mirror insides into the manual mirrors on the car.
Is it just the 3 screws that hold the mirror insides in the housing? I was looking at the power mirror and it looks like I can get at 2 of the screws but I don't think I can get at the 3rd.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Re: Side Mirror Swap (HELP!!)
You have to pop out the glass piece on the power mirror to get to the other screw.
Pretty simple procedure,just be patient and get behind the glass piece and pull it off.There are three pins on the back side of the glass that work the power mirror,they are inserted into the power window motor.I guess you could say they're kinda like worm gears.Sorry I don't have any pics of this,but try like I said,give a firm tug on the glass piece,and take a peek behind it,that should give you an idea on what you're looking at.

Yes,the glass part as well as the black backing that the glass is glued to.
I consider them 1 piece,but wanted to clarify that.
