rrobello Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 These things are killer, really clean up the looks of the car and make it look a hell of a lot better. I still need to get them painted but was too eager to put them on so they are on in the mean time. Install is pretty straight forward and doesn't take very much time. Thank you Corey and Heath, I love these new mirrors. *If they ask how you heard about them, tell them you saw my post (if you dont mind), thank you -Richard Here is Agent 47s contact info in case anyone is interested: 760-496-3809 760-929-9357 FAX Agent 47 2221 Rutherford Rd Carlsbad CA 92008-8815 Contact Corey @ corey@forecast3d.com or Heath @ heath@agentfortyseven.com Full gallery: http://www.surfnsocal.com/gallery/v/cars/R...Agent47Mirrors/ Direct link to the mirrors on Agent 47s site: http://agentfortyseven.com/restyling/mirrors.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrobello Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Write-up: They recommend painting these mirror housings with an automotive exterior paint to keep them UV stable. If you don't there is a possibility of them getting gray and chalky in the future. They are made from urethane and they do not use a release on their molds like other manufactures so painting should not be a problem. Parts included: Driver and Passenger mirror housings and mirror glass assemblies. 1. Remove the drivers side triangular plastic cover that the side mirror adjustment knob is located in. You can do this simply by pulling horizontally. 2. Disconnect the mirror motor wire harness. 3. Remove the three nuts holding the mirror in place. 11mm 4. Remove the mirror assembly. 5. Remove mirror by carefully pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrobello Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 6. Get the correct Torx bit and unscrew the three torx screws attaching the mirror motor. 7. Gently pull out the motor and unclip the wiring from the back of the motor. The later motors that came along in 06 have an uncommon looking harness. It has a funky saddle type harness that has two clips on either side of the motor. 8. Remove the wiring harness from the stock housing. 9. Clip wiring back onto the mirror motor. 10. Thread the wire harness through the new mirror housing. 11. Screw the factory motor in place using the three stock torx screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrobello Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 12. Remove the stock weatherstripping foam from the stock mirror. Place this on the new A47 mirror housing and bolt it on the car using the stock nuts. Install both sides to this point and plug in the harnesses. Now check the motors for proper operation. 13. After everything is working properly you can clip on the actual mirror glass. It will be marked on the back with a D or P designating driver or passenger. Before you snap them on note that there is a thin wall. Make sure the cut out faces downward. It should not take too much force to snap these on. DO NOT FORCE IT! These are not meant to be repeatedly taken on and off so try to get it right the first time. 14. Reinstall the plastic interior covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I believe that Rufdraft was inquiring about these mirrors after he saw them in another forum. Nice job on the install slideshow; you can't get much clearer instructions than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job on the install slideshow; you can't get much clearer instructions than that. thanks its actually a very simple install and goes very quickly, that is once I discovered I did have the right fricken tool that was needed. I was searching around for a bit and was about to give up and go to home depot but then found what I needed to get the torx screws off....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Are you going to paint them soon. You could have some factory paint put in a rattle can and do it yourself to save some money. It is not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrobello Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 thanks everyone, I love these mirrors and think they are well worth the money, as for painting I am going to but am holding off for a little bit until the kit is done so I can have the entire car painted at once. *If they ask how you heard about them, tell them you saw my post (if you dont mind), thank you -Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
