How did you install them? Did you remove the whole door panel? Or is there a way to just pry it out enough in that area to exchange them?

Heck i was wondering that also. When i had to do some work on mine i had to pull the whole door pannel off, i dont think there is a way to get to the bolts without doing the whole pannel.

Pull the door panel up and there's enough play to pull it back to get to the mirror studs.

Talking New Mopar Power/Heated Tow Mirrors Installed

My mirrors arrived yesterday evening. Installed them this morning. Really like them, good addition to the truck as previously stated. Would post pics, but looks just like the other trucks on here with them.

One thing I did differently on the install that some others didn't do, was to remove the door panel completely. It was very easy and takes like 5 minutes. Makes getting to the bottom nut and wiring connector much easier. No holding back anything.

There is a video on youtube you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=Zb0UPXsKN5A#!

The only thing I did differently is on removing the door handle. Instead of the t30, I used a 10mm deep well socket to get it off. 1/4" drive i think. Other than that, exactly as in video. Actually used it on mirror nuts too.
