Has anyone disassembled the mirror? Need some help here.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It's a real :cus: of a job... Sonny-Boy and I had mine apart, but it was a lot of fussing and swearing... We're still not sure how it happened! 
pps: I know that there are instructions out there; search through the threads involving putting extra lights on the mirrors to act as turnsignal indicators...

Thanks Bob, done the search thing and finally found what I was looking for.

RT mirror disassembly...
Yesterday I tore into my mirrors so that I could wire some l.e.d. light strips into my turn signals. Needless to say, it's a stinker! Both the top and bottom panels have two retaining tabs that are accessible from the mounting end. The others are inside at locations that are inaccessible, even when the first two have been pryed open. You virtually have to release the tabs that are visible, and then pry the panel open until the others "pop" open. I was lucky and all of my panels came off without breaking any of the tabs. Tug towards the outer edge gently and you shouldn't have a problem. Here are some pics to give an idea where the hidden tabs and slots are.

mirror led lights
I too have picked up a set of leds for the side mirrors. Greens manual sez ( all you gotta do) is:1 Pull the lower part of the mirror toward the outside to unlock it.2 Slide mirror upwards to unlock it from the upper slot.NOTE: The procedures are the same for the LH and RH mirrorsI gave one of the mirrors a causual pull according to the manual, and didn't seem to want to go anywhere. So I guess I have to put more muscle keeping an eye on those tabs. cause it sounds like once the tab breaks your screwed.Thanks for the tip to proceed with caution.Ron

Thanks zbunker, I have no problems removing the mirrors from the SpYder and yes, you do need to put a little muscle behind it. My question was for those who have taken the mirror apart after removing from the SpYder. Good luck with your project.
