'95 Saturn driver's mirror - removal problem
Hi,
I took a couple of photos of my saturn mirror that is broken off, and the problem is I don't see to remove/replace the cable to fix or replace the mirror. Anyone know what I need to do? The pics are at http://www.geocities.com/markgmeyers/saturn_mirror.htm TIA! Mark |

'95 Saturn driver's mirror - removal problem
I replaced this for my son on a 1996, but it was a couple years back and I
honestly do not remember the details... What I do recall is that it only took about 15 minutes so was pretty simple. I seem to recall possibly three screws or bolts that held the mirror into place. If I also recall correctly, the Allen set screw I can see in your photo was used for an adjustment or to hold the cable end in its housing. This needed to be loosened to allow the mechanism to go through the door to the exterior and be removed. Bottom line is that this should be pretty obvious. Get the replacement mirror from a junk yard and you will see where the screws/bolts are holding it in place. I do remember there was a plastic cover on the inside that needed to be removed, but it appears you already got that off. There may have been a hidden screw there that held the plastic cover in place. Sorry I'm not more help. Bob "Mark G.

It has to be let go from inside the door. Remove the cap covering the bolts.

But I'll for sure have to screw with it. It looks like in the bottom picture a threaded round piece, but not an allen screw. Maybe something on the top of it, which is only seen side-view in the pic. The only thing holding me back at this point is the cable.

If the 'cap' is the plastic panel of the interior there, then I don't see
how to remove it without detaching the cable or cable housing first. "Shawn" > wrote in message ... > It has to be let go from inside the door. Remove the cap covering the bolts. > |

Garsh. Very cool! It doesn't look like a hex screw, but I suppose it has
to be. Like Bob said. That'll pretty much do it! Mark "MasterBlaster" > wrote in message news:4gHcf.192658$ir4.189074@edtnps90... > > "Mark G.

The allen screw is facing you in the bottom photo. Simply loosen the
screw and the assy will slip out, allowing you to remove the mirror assy from the door. James |
