Default Put on mirrors & headliner last nite...

Drove the car for a whopping 32mi, and decided modding couldnt wait any longer.

Euro mirros:

The're a snap! er... um bad choice of words.
1) Rotate mirror housing outwards & tilt mirror skywards.
2)Push edge of mirror that is nearest to car all the way in, then reach fingers behind edge lowest & farthest from car. Keep wiggling fingers until you touch the plastic ring on the back of the mirror. I used the edge of a screwdriver wrapped in a towel to gentley push the release tab away from the car in a horizontal motion. You need to apply a fair amount of pressure to get the desired effect. Be careful not to cut yourself or damage your car with a slipping screwdriver.
3)Pull forward with firm constant pressure and the mirror will snap out except for the upper inner corner.
4) Remove heater wires by wiggling them lengthwise at their base. DO NOT pull wires.
5)Attach wires to new mirror & snap mirror into place. Took 15min.

Headliner:
1) Take your time and the job is not hard. Be gentle. Took me 3.25 hrs.

Goodluck!
