HOW-TO SIDE VIEW MIRROR INSTALL w/ PICS

Installed some CraftSquare Mirrors today. I figured i'd post a DIY/HOW TO with PICS. This is a very easy install but a how to with pics is always awesome.

1. Tools Required
A Ratchet tool of your choice, 10mm socket, Needle Nose Pliers, Common sense and a Pair of hands.

2. Open up your doors and remove your Tweeter covers by pulling towards you.

3. Grab your needle nose pliers and unplug the mirrors. After the mirrors are unplugged start removing the 3 bolts holding the mirror to the door.

4. When the 3 bolts are removed pull those dumbo ears towards you. Don't be afraid to give it a little tug. I promise your door wont fall off

Mirrors don't bounce they are bolted to the door I'm just playing. They vibrate just a tad bit. But nothing to the point of annoyance. Even at high speeds there are no probs.
