Hey Guys,

Just wanted to know how to remove powered driver side mirror? I searched however couldn't find anything. Mines rattling, so wanting to tighten it.

I believe with the non-powered version you twist the base of the side mirror, however, the powered version is chunky and not round so it doens't work.

THanks.

Take the door card off, unplug the wire that goes to the mirror. Twist the mirror, exposing 2 screws, undo them.

I've tried it and it works!

No worries spud, hopefully I saved you from denting your door like I did trying to pry the mirror up ;)

I also need to fix a rattly power mirror.

When you say twist the mirror, do you mean twist the whole assembly rotating on the surface of the door, or rotating on the join where the mirror body meets the mirror mount.. or rotating just the mirror surface to get at the inside of the mirror body?

I had a go at twisting the whole mirror assembly but it didn't want to move without what would seem like excessive force.
