Help- outside Right mirror

[BamaRodeo]

On my way home from work today, the right outside mirror decided to start waving at everyone. Luckily, I was able to stop on the side of the road before it came off. I just paid $163 for new new one (on order). Can someone point me to some instructions (with pics) that will help me install it myself????? I dont even want to think about how much I'd have to pay to have it installed. Btw- my Rodeo is year 1999. ThankS!

I'm sure you'll have the remove the interior door panel and there will be some bolts holding the mirror on from inside the door.

Super easy. Pop off the inner triangular piece of plastic trim. Unbolt the old one. Bolt up the new one. Snap trim back on. If you have a power mirror, there's an additional step of unplugging the harness an plugging in the new one. I hope I remembered it right...

My wife broke my driver's side power mirror off (grounds for divorce in most states), and it would have been $550 or some outrageous price for a new one. Junkyard hookup and my labor: $125.

I have a '97...

And there's a speaker harness you have to disconnect...just unplug/replug.

Thank you- Thank you for the website! I'm cancelling my order tomorrow... It's a manual side mirror, and it looks like it'll be easy to replace myself.. (and I wont even chip a nail)

Is a flat head screw driver the best device to use to pop off the inside plastic piece?

Just be gentle. I know I didn't use anything special...

And there's no speaker there, right?

No speaker... the mirror is attached at a triangle between the window and the door. I suppose if I muck up the plastic thingy, I could order one from the site that amigo gave me. btw- I found a used replacement mirro for $75. Saved me $100.. yippee.

Excellent. These forums are invaluable.
