997 side mirrors - how to remove?
2007 GT3, side mirror is about to fall off. No idea why - any tips on pulling it apart safely? I removed the small screw on the underside and nothing happened... Any help is appreciated - thanks!
UPDATE: Got the answer from RennSport. Here it is if you have a similar problem:
Simply remove the interior mirror triangles ( where your controls are ) and there will be 3 torques screws securing the mirror to the car. Its the same on both side.
Note: When you pop off the interior trim pieces, pop them off from the bottom and slide them up. There is a little clip that slides into the top portion of the trim piece that you will break off if you just pull it outwards. Slide it up towards the roof line.
(Note: the trim piece is held tight against the door - it too a bit of gentle prying to pop out the bottom half)
