How hard to remove the strips halfway up the door? and electric mirrors on a tj? Gettin em colour coded and its easier for everyone if i just take it off myself lol

any help would be appreciated, did a quick search but nothin came up

mirror is easy take inside cover off it just needs levering off gently only clips on and then 3 screws hold mirror on and unplug the wires as for the side strips easier just to mask around them and paint them on the car much less hassles that way.

so the bit that connects the mirror to the door just pops off? Cheers mate

to take the mirrors off a 3rd gen, fold the mirror in and look down the gap either side on the mirror base. you will see two 10mm bolts. you can get one out then turn the mirror the other way so its facing forward and the other bolt is accessable. undo the wiring plug and viola! mirrors off. probably one of the easiest cars to remove mirrors from.
the side moulds are just stuck on with double sided tape. be careful not to bend them too much when removing them as it can stuff them. if you need to, leave them in the sun to soften and straighten. also, remove the old double sided tape from the mould before painting them so they can be stuck straight back on when painted.

disregard my first instruction i was thinking of my ford:doh: :redface: spider-ken is right just twist the mirror and remove the 2 bolts and unplug the wires.

cool cheers guys :D

new side strips are like 15 ea, probably easier than cleaning the old tape off the moulds and retaping.

so ya reckon its easier just to buy new ones, get them painted then take the old ones off and slap the painted ones bak on? wikid sounds simple enough lol

mini thread mine but still on topic,

i undid the bolts and mirror has come away, how the hell do i unclip the wiring? im assumin the black and white bits seperate? help pls :D

there is a plug along the wiring. you might need to pull some of it out of the hole in the door but its there.

lol the noob worked it out, the the white bit is attatched to the black bit and a smaller white bit clips out lol

Good job it probably would of taken me just as long so dont feel bad :bowrofl:
