Cool and thanks for posting. Always fun to see what is behind the scenes. One question though, why?

So, what's the rest of the story? Why did you have to replace the mirror?

Let my mother drive it, backed out and.....

The new mirror was $150 off of ebay, painted and a perfect match. Wasn't bad at all....

I learned my lesson.

In the FAQ now . Your pictures and text were the gold standard for which all other picture DIY threads should be compared!

Great job!!!

Great job will save for future use. My wife ripped off three mirrors in two months with our Maxima backing out of the garage. To date she has not yet driven the vette but the day will come.

nice writeup.

Did you notice by chance if the speaker grills on the door panel were easily removable?
