HELP NEEDED: how do I pull the driving mirror control on the drivers door?
Can anyone tell me how to remove the driving mirror control situated at the corner of the A-pillar at the front of the drivers-side door?
Thanks

Larry, the driver's side mirror control is held in at the three points of the triangle. The bottom two points are pushed straight in. The top is a U shaped hook. Gently pull at the base. Once you have the base pulled out, lift up and the top will come out. If you are gentle and don't pull the top, you won't have a problem. I just removed mine to check. I have had it off several times with no problems.
If you need me to take pictures of it off, let me know and I can post them for you. Good luck, Mark

Mark, you rock - mission accomplished in no time at all; using the thin blade of a jewelers screwdriver I was able to 'get it started' at the bottom (no fingernails - my mother kept telling me
not to bite them!) and out it popped!
many thanks

Best tool for the interior is a plastic wedge (think doorstop). Works wonders, and is actually referenced in most of the Porsche tech manuals for interior trim removal.
