So the mirrors on the LS me and my brother are working on are flopping around. and the driver side has some cardboard to retain it in place. Talking about the housing itself. the lens operates correctly with the motor.

So we were at the Upull yard today and found a LS with unmolested mirrors

Took the tweeters off and the screw on the inside of the door.

yet were unable to detach the mirrors from the car? is it possible to take the whole assembly out or is it possible to only take the mirror itself? Has anyone removed these before?

 

You have to pop the glass off and there are some screws behind I believe.

 

What year is yours?

Taking a look at the repair manual on my 95, it shows that you remove a couple of screws behind the tweeter, and the whole assembly should pop right off.... Otherwise you could just use this:

 

Yoshi is correct those 3 screws should release the mirror.

 

This is my guide on the series IV

thanks for the input guys but I have a 91 LS400 if anyone who owns one of these can chime in that would be sweet.


I removed screws from behind the tweeters and only saw 1 screw I believe so not sure if there different between years.

 

Is there a piece of foam that is covering the other 2 screws.? Usually the wiring for the mirror snakes through the center of it. Def think these guys are correct about the 3 screws though.

 

From the diagram it would seem there are 3 screws

 

it could just be stuck to the door by the rubber seals. just take off the three bolts and wiggle it loose.
