I dunno man, you definitely have to finagle the housing off/on, by tilting, turning, and moving the mirror (glass) itself. As far as your gap, maybe you haven't slid it on far enough pass that retainer clip. A flashlight helps to see what/where things are. Post some pics

okay so ive got the housing off on one side, im trying to replace the seals, how do I disconnect the two wires going to the plug in for light/blinker strip?

Mr S430 · 03-09-2009, 03:53 PM

Can you send me an email in good detail in how to do this please.

kadafone · 05-01-2009, 07:03 PM

Mine just came in......not happy at all. One only lights up 2 LEDs and besides that there two different ambers.

sokrispy69 · 08-21-2009, 02:07 AM

i jus did mine and one of the signals burned out on me in 2 days ...bought off mini-something from ebay and after i told him the problem he sent a new one right away not bad!

sokrispy69 · 08-21-2009, 02:11 AM

i did notice when i took the housings off the mirrors the rubber that sits between the mirror and car is breaking apart like dry rotting anyone else having this problem??

jessfaust · 08-26-2009, 07:29 PM

cameraman123, Where did you buy the rubber trimming for both side mirrors? mine are already worn out...

cameraman123 · 08-26-2009, 07:52 PM

at the stealership, about $13 a pop

how do you put them in , do you have to take the door panel off to get the mirror off?

cameraman123 · 08-27-2009, 09:29 AM

i found it easier, follow others instructions in this thread about how to remove mirror cover, push tab up, maneuver mirror until you can pull casing off, then youll need to go inside, (ill post the PDF later), remove various screws holding door panel on, then youll need to get to the back of the window switch control module, the wiring harness to the mirrors plugs into the back of this, unplug it and then unscrew the mirror via 3 torx T15s (?) and pull out with wiring harness. Replace seal and reverse instructions

cameraman123 · 08-27-2009, 06:32 PM

heres that pdf http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f...4e75f6e8ebb871

sokrispy69 · 08-27-2009, 06:47 PM

thanks man big help!

2H S5 · 09-21-2009, 08:33 PM

Mine are turning yellow and fading. I'm going to toss them out later on.

If anyone knows the cost on the > 03 oem's, I'll go that route.
If not, I'll just put back the old ones
