m3 mirrors?

[2True]

Seth, you want to know how to remove the inside door panel?

Easy:
Take the screws out around the door and the one on the little dip tray in the window/lock controls. Pull that out and unhooh the wire harness
There might be a screw in the door handle, can't remember..

Pull the bottom of the door lightly until the plactic clips unhook (POP!)

Pull the door upwards and out, there are clips holding it to the window sill.

I think that's it

Hey Seth how about those Cyclones last night. We tore you guys up.
But yea get those mirrors on asap so we can start ordering those things.

[seth98esT]

Heheh Cyclones? who are they? :lauging:

I just got back from running a buch of errands, getting some new bolts cause the stock ones dont fit in the m3s, buying some tools I forgot to bring from home, ect... I might get em in tonight if they fit, or I could be lazy and do it tomorrow, but I think Ill get em in tonight

TAKE LOTS OF PICS!!!!!!!!

[seth98esT]

thats what my free digicam is for hehe I took a few before pictures too so you can see the damage to my driverside mirror haha

hmmm i should go outside now and work...

[seth98esT]

ok i got my old mirror off and test fit the m3s, but it is not a direct bolt on, sorry guys. BUT i wil get them to fit. I either hafta file down the base plaste cause it it too big and use the existing holes, or file down the base plate a tad and drill new holes(which will probably work the best)

but either way they will work with some modification. they looked nice though when i had them on(only held on by one bolt and plenty of gaps)

Stock mirror base:

M3 Mirror base:

haha and here is why i needed new mirrors

[JiP]

Is the distance between the 3 holes the same on both mirrors?

[seth98esT]

not sure, they are both in the car, im going to bring them in tonight and work on them though so ill do some measuring.

I emailed Jean at ozeparts.com.au and asked the same question a few weeks ago (will any of the M3 mirrors fit on my Galant?) and her answer was a clear 'no'....

[seth98esT]

yes, but these will fit! i am destined to make them fit!

[seth98esT]

-=*Update*=-

took apart the driverside headlight assembly and heres what i found out:

i could care less about all those pieces except for this one


looks to me like i should cut this piece up and use the metal piece that orignally connected the stock mirrors as my mounting bracket. not sure if that would work or not as that piece is kinda of thick

anybody want to buy some power mirror motors?

[Galant Ryder]

did u get a chance to try on the accord mirrors you have??

[seth98esT]

im thinking i will try them tomorrow, i hafta take em off of my boys car haha...but from looking at that mounting piece from the oem mirrors, they dont look much better mounting wise.

You can get anything to fit if your a lil creative and good with duct tape! :laughing:

Way to keep those finger nails from getting dirty

[seth98esT]

haha well i dunno how they got so dirty, but the inside of the mirrors were all greasy and full of junk, but im cleaned em

just went out and took another look at em today and it looks like with a mit of sanding on the baseplate and some new holes they will fit yay!
