Taking off the mirror since I'm heading into the body shop. I have the door panel and sail off, took out the 3 bolts but there is another piece holding it on. Anybody done this before, or have a Haynes they could check it out in? I left my manual at school...

 

1. Remove the mirror trim panel.
2. Remove the mirror-to-door retaining bolts (3 - probably the ones you took off) and, on power mirrors, unplug the electrical connector.
3. Remove the mirror assembly.
4. Installation is reverse of removal.

So whatever is holding it on is probably the electrical connector or a clip.

 

Thanks for looking that up for man... there is another small piece that has a screw going into it from the inside, but there is no place inside to undo it... i'm almost ready to get the hacksaw blade out!

 

it's the clip iirc. push in on the caught up area with a screwdriver...

err... i mean... if you answer the questions in my other thread, i'll answer this one =)

 

Probably a clip.

 

had to get mean with it... from what i can tell that piece was designed to piss me off and nothing else!

 

You should tell the government, I bet they'd be interested in Toyota's conspiracy plans!

Anyways, why is it going to the body shop?

 

good, now take off your alternator and take some pics for me... come on, it's on 3 bolts!!!
=)

oh crap... i mean, i'm glad you got it off!

 

It sounds like you may be in a hurry, I can have better details for you tomorrow if you can wait that long....

 

well, yes/no. I want it done BY the end of tomorrow. so, that means i would want the details AT THE LATEST by noon. But i don't want to push you, so tomorrow morning (8am) i'm getting the new alternator and parts.

so ya... if you can get the details, awesome! i'll check back on here before i do any cutting LOL

(uhm, i didn't mean to overflow this to here... oops )

 

its the harness that powers the mirror! i thought i told you or someone else asking the same question a day or two ago?

That was me Bob! Not the harness, there's nothing to that. There are 2 "nubs" that go into holes for alignment, on the mirror that you take off. There's a screw into one of these, from the inside out.... but NO way to get even close to putting a screwdriver on it. It's hard to explain, I might have to snap a pic tomorrow so you don't think I'm completely insane!
