Here are the scans for replacing the complete outside mirror Have fun.

 

What did you do to it out of curiosity?

 

thanks alot. fixed it today. I didn't do anything. Parked it over night in the city and it was dangling off my car. I was pretty pissed. Someone keyed the other side of the car too

 

Fucking Jeolous ppl. As I have said before I know some people who didn't do the best they could have(financially) in their life and in return insult people with luxery items. For example they basically said our big screen TV was a waste of money(samsung 50" DLP with the built in stand in case you were wondering). I was in the car with them once and they were saying stuff like "assholes with there BMWs" and it really pisses me off. I wanted to say, hey, its not there fucking fault they paid attention in school.

 

anyone out there with a DIY video or detailed instruction showing us how to remove the side view mirrors? Im not sure how to remove the door panel to get to the side mirror bolts and hooking up the wire for the blinker.
Gotta love DIY videos!!!!!!

 

Are you hooking up the 07 side mirrors.

 

i got a problem with my side mirror button anyone know how to fix it?
basically this is what it does...i can select the bottom to the right mirror and when i put the car in reverse it tilts down and then automatically tilts back up and it doesnt stay down unless i push the bottom to the right and hold it in one place

 

Hi, My right side mirror doesnt go up and down smoothly, sound like there is some frictions and dry. is there any hole or anything that I can put some lubrication to make it smooth movement? thank's

 

that's covered under warranty. Mine did the same thing and I had it replaced. The motor drive is failing.

 

mine is out of warranty, its been more than 5 years.

 

Does anyone have pictures? I am not sure by door panel removal....does the whole panel come off? What I mean is the whole panel (speaker) everything comes off? Or just the top part?

I need to replace my passenger mirror.

 

Does anyone know if there are any significant changes to replacing the passenger side mirror? I read a different post that says that for the passenger side all you need to do is remove the little triangular cover (without having to remove the entire door panel). Is this accurate?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I know this thread has been closed for a while, but I am trying to figure out how to remove the actual GLASS from the mirror holder plate. I looked at DIYs online that require you to break the glass and scrape the glass off with a scraper. I don't want to break the glass, I want to take off the passenger side view mirror glass from the glass holder and keep it in-tact. I have just the glass (not the holder that connects the glass mirror to the actuator).

Anybody help?

 

The holder is probably stuck on with adhesive and isn't meant to come off. The parts diagram also lists the mirror with holder as one piece and then a separate actuator assembly which is 30 bux!

I think I am just going to have to physically break the glass of the mirror holder and scrape it all off.

I saw DIYs for this online, will probably work for what I have, just wanted to spare the glass itself. Oh well.

 

Did you end up breaking and scraping it off? I'm in the same situation..

 

Does anyone know the steps to just replacing the glass on the outside mirrors for a 2004 Acura t/l

 

Being a 3G forum I am assuming to add the following is about the 3G TL 2004 model....

There is a 'side mirror removal' DIY on Acurazine and it is INCOMPLETE. It starts with 'just pull the triangle shaped inner door panel off with your hands'.

No. DOESNT WORK like that.
You do have to take the panel off to get to the inner most electrical connector to disconnect, and to pry a nylon anchor that is hidden behind the panel to free up triangle portion.

In the image I include, there are two screws also not showing. They are behind a pry door just behind the door lever for opening the door. The stopper screw was a pain for me to remove... its a rubber door bumper of sorts. IIt needed a finishing tool pry from the door panel outwards to keep a pressure on the removal action, or the unscrewing merely backspins and does not extrude.

Otherwise all the nylon anchor points marked as item "D" (seven of them) got a plastic finish tool pry from the flattest one in the bundle. Work from the BOTTOM TO THE TOP one anchor by anchor, pull separated panel straight up to clear the manual door lock shaft and let dangle.

FYI you also have to stretch-remove the weatherstripping over their pinning tabs, from the leading edge of the door to make room for the 'triangle' section of panel to pull away enough to get the ratchet in to undo the three mirror assembly anchor bolts (aka 'forward facing' aka 'in the direct of the front of the car')

A deer decided to suicide itself on the hood, its head whipped around and the rack sheered off the entire mirror assembly.
The parts allege to be interchangeable with the 2006 TL model, but it isnt. The anchor bolts for the NEWER 06 MODEL TL happen to have thicker diameter, therefor a diff thread size. So I have to consider if I want to file the holes on the door for the thicker bolt anchors or return the junkyard mirror and wait for the proper year/sizing.

I also found that while the hood is correct size/fit, the plastic CHROMED TRIM on the leading edge of the hood also have different sized anchor bolts. This time they are SMALLER diameter than the original 04 has, and the nut size is 7mm not 8mm. But I suppose I shouldve put that in the 'hood DIY' section or something.
I only declare it 'easy' because I found every image I could to work from, CAREFULLY SLOWLY explored the areas shown (as no image is foolproof, Ive seen mislabeled year/model images all over the net routinely), and not rushing. Then its easy.

Going in blind with no clue where 18 yr old plastic anchor tabs are, on a winter's day in an uninsulated unheated garage suddenly becomes less easy and less confident.

 

a little late HAH... but only go as far as prying it off as per the actuator lube tute DIY
