Step 6:

Bolt on Craftsquare mirror via the original mirror holes. Its helpful to have another person to help with adjustments.... One person to hold align the mirror and hold in place while another tightens the bolts. From there adjust your mirror view and tighen the adjustment bolts down.

my oem mirror is loose at the base...... can you be a little more detailed on how to take off the small plastic where the oem tweeter is so i can access the bolts of the mirror? I hope they are just loose..... I would rather do it my self rather than have the dealer do it and take a week

the oem tweeter plastic just lifts up and unclips from the aluminum plating. the way they designed the plastic door covers is that you'll need to remove the door panel before you can get to the tweeter cover.


just besure you dont knock off the foam padding that's stuck to the inner panel of the plastic door panel. if if falls off you'll need to use foam glue to stick it back to the plastic-

tip for plastic door cover.. lift UP there are clips in the metal door, and the plastic has 'hoops' to engage the clips. if you lift the cover up. you will reduce the risk of breaking or popping off the clips-
