Installing Drivers side mirror

[Scat Pack Fever]

I bought a mirror kit with the hardware and nuts to shrink up the T nut when you tighten it. The only problem is that you cant get behind the plate in the door to put the nut on the screw. The mirror is a remote mirror. Anyone one else have this issue?

I have the tool for doing just that. But without it, how about a pair of 12" long bent nose pliers? You
can get them at a hardware store usually, or Harbor freight carries them.

That's the tool I have, but the OP wants to know how to do it with a screw and a nut.

Very interesting! Thanks! I may go that route. That looks way easier.

Are you going to Carlisle? I could bring the tool for you to borrow.

I wish I was. Thanks for the offer though.

That is an interesting tool . . . Would that work on a passenger door that has never had a mirror?      is there something on the inside of the door that helps support the mirror?

Dave, the tool is like a pop rivet gun. You thread a nutsert onto it. stick the nut in the hole and squeeze. I'll show it to you tomorrow when you come by.
