Mounting remote control for mirror
« on: April 09, 2007 - 06:16:46 PM »
Help.....I finally got to install my mirrors but I have a question that maybe somebody can help me with. I have the threaded bezel and I also have a round copper piece that has tabs on it. I see the obvious as far as where the bezel goes but I am not sure how the ring with the tabs stops the remote control from falling into the interior of the car. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I saw the post on someone having a similar problem but the pics that were attached have been deleted by admin. I haven't attached pics because it was getting dark and I left them in the car for now. (mounting hardware for door panel).


thanks

It's been awhile since I installed a remote mirror but I know you need the clip to hold the cable end in the door frame while you install the door panel (and then the threaded retainer).  I've made them out of sheet metal with the little tangs because they always seem to be missing!

Installing new mirrors on my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. I ran into the same problem with the mounting tab. I have a '72 Charger with an original remote mirror so I was able to spot the tab pushed through a hole about 3/4 of the way up the door almost under the upper hinge. First, remove both the upper and lower door panels as well as the chrome inside door handle and lock knob. Install the mirror and drape the remote cable on top of the window post; you can see if you look down the window track from the top. Second, reach your left arm inside the large opening at the bottom of the door grasp the tie and anchor tab and insert the tab into the hole. This will take some strength and long arms. But, it can be done and me and my son did it. Test it out a few times and then re-install the panels, handle, door lock cap and remote bezel. The threads on the bezel need to be carefully threaded to seat fully. Mine wanted to thread about 2 turns until I got it right then it mounted flush.
