Default MRacing Mirror install....

What's up fellas? Gettin ready to install a set of MRacing mirrors. I got my Helms manual out and lookin through the power mirror replacement section and it says that I need to remove the window and the door sash holder... Sounds/looks like a huge headache..! So here's my question... Has anyone removed their side view mirrors without all the BS of removing all the other shizzz??

Either way... I'm gonna dive head first into it... (that's what she said)

I'll let y'all know how it goes...

I've installed APR mirrors without removing the the window. Small hands and a universal joint ratchet adapter are a must. Work carefully to avoid dropping bolts into inaccessible door recesses. LFMF.

i have the craftsquares, roll your window all the way up. take out the door panels and speaker. take a small 10 wrench stick it through the speaker hole and wrench away. theres 2 nuts you need to take out and 1 connector.

Well, just completed the MRacing mirror install... Gettin to those 3 10mm nuts through the speaker hole was a Bi@tch..! Other than that it was pretty much straight forward. I should have ordered the triangles and door plugs from S2X b4 i did this but I didn't... Kinda spur of the moment install. ( been sittin on these mirrors for about 9 months...lol) So for now I have a sticker over the holes in the doors where the oem mirrors were...lol. (ghetto.. I know ). but I did message S2X to place a order. Hopefully he has them in stock.

I'll get some pics up as soon as the triangles and plugs get here

I seen Troy's new mirrors in person the other day. It came out really nice, not sure if I would personally go through all the trouble for it but I must say it came out real nice. As soon as he covers up his old mirror it'll look even more nice.
Nice workkkk.
