    New member. Been lurking for a long time.
    As I backed into my garage this evening I broke the side mirror.it will have to be replaced. It it not the top line mirror just, heated, powered and pulls in manually. I'm by no means a mechanic but not useless either. Is this something replaceable in my garage.
    Thank you for the help.
    I also recently put 35/12.50/20s on it with information I got here.

    Yes it is easy to replace. You will have to pull the door panel and you will see a connector and 3 nuts. I don't remember which one but they are a 10 or 12mm.

    15 minute job probably.
    10mm socket
    Phillips Screwdriver and something pokey for the plastic fasteners
    Maybe Needle Nose Plier

    The only odd thing is that mine had clips between the mirror and door that I did not see in any pics or videos and they were sortof a bitch to get out but you just let them know who is boss and they pop loose!
