take apart side view mirror?

[george graves]

Anyone ever dissassembel a side view mirror? I know there must be a nasty spring in there, so I'm a little hesitant to do it.

Anyone attempt this, advice?

(Thinking of adding some LEDs in there triggered by the keyless entry)

might help you... There's a cap at the bottom that can pop off. after that i don't know what you need to do to take it off

You can take out the glass by tilting it up and there is a lock ring you just have to push off to the side with a small screw driver. I replaced my glass on one of my mirrors when it accidentally got broken.
