Unfortunetly you do need to cut the harness off. I still wonder why Porsche did not make a connector inside the door to make life easier. I still havent hooked up my power mirrors, probably never will!

I am also surprised that the mirror connectors were populated as part of the same sub assembly as the mirror installation. They must have used a functional check of the mirrors opperation to verify the wiring.
....well it sort of makes sense, considering there were no optional mirror styles.

Hello, I was searching about how to remove my mirrors and came accross this thread and want to avoid cutting the wires if at all possible. Where is this white circular connector located?? Is it inside the mirror somewhere or is it inside the door panel??

Thanks! Is the pin/socket extractor tool a common tool that I can buy at Sears/Walmart/Autoparts store?? Is there a specific one that I will need for this job?

Dear Tom,
Welcome to Rennlist! Unfortunately, the thread you referenced is over 10 years old so unlikely to have a response from the OP. However, the pins you are referring to do have a specific terminal removal tool. Also, make sure the lock is open on the terminal in order to release the pins. I have been looking at this set to purchase for home use.
Best of luck.
