S-10 Mirror Replacement - 9/17/2006 2:26:13 PM    Acidik   Posts: 1 Joined: 9/17/2006 Status: offline Hey everyone. I'm new. I have a bit of a pickle to ask. My boyfriend's passenger mirror is broken, he bought a replacement, went to replace the mirror, but can't get the broken one off. He's got one screw left, but it's stripped. Does anyone know a good way to get the mirror off? Also, if possible can anyone tell me how to get the whole panel of which the mirror is on off? That might be our last resort. The new mirror has that entire panel, but he was trying to get just the mirror off to make it easy, but instead it's just being a pain in the arse. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Post #: 1
