Installing Sport Mirrors from outside.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Already Gone** · 07-25-2023, 11:05 PM

Been going over this and looking getting ideas and advice from here and YouTube as really really wasn't into removing my door panels to replace my mirrors. Bought the pictured NOS ones 3/4 years ago from a board member, can't remember who now, and the chrome is outstanding on them. The screws are # 8 machine screws and are not a tight fit but do the job. I did this myself but if another set of hands are around that'd be great. I used the wire as a safety thing while I cleaned up the original screws on the grinder. the whole job took me maybe 1/2 hour to 45 mins cause I go slow. Talk about procrastination I broke the mirror in 2018 and bought the replacements then and they been sitting in the boxes since.

Very smart idea. When there is a will, then there's a way.
