Stock Passenger Door Mirror, Where do they mount?? Options

[aircooledtechguy]

I scored me a passenger door mirror today on CL. Now I need to get ready to mount it.

1. Do all the cars have the captured nuts under the door skin similar to the drivers door that just need to be drilled out through the skin?? If so, I assume drilling from the inside of the door out is the way to do this??

2. If not and I will have to add my own nuts to the screws, does anyone have the correct location I will need to locate it so it's usable?? I know it needs to be aft of the drivers side a bit

Thanks!!

1. Remove inner door panel.
2. Look with a flashlight in the vicinity of the mirror mounting location you will see the nuts.
3. Take a spring loaded punch and center within the nut and make your punch mark.
4. From outside you will see the dimple. Take punch on the outside and make mark on outside.
5. Take drill with drill bit slightly smaller than needed and slowly drill hole. Once you have a hole you can visually determine if you're centered or not.
6. Drill final hole size carefully.
7. Take mirror screws and run them in and out of the holes.
8. If you have done well you can install the mirrors. If not some filing to clean the holes may be needed.
9. Install interior door panel and drink beer and marvel at your success ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
