Anyone have any experience in this? I'm replacing the passenger side mirror, but I need to remove the plastic cover (interior piece, covering the knob) to do so. It looks like I may need to remove the whole door panel to do so, though. Sounds like a good time to repair my door inserts and tear the burlap off of em too So, I'm wondering, where are all the screws holding on the door panel? Looking at you Mike

thanks guys

The vert door panels are slightly different than normal S13 panels in terms of mounting. There is a screw through the wiper in front of the seat belt cover thing. There is one extra screw holding the door panel on inside of the car - it's obvious. The outer panel seat belt cover thing has a screw under the Nissan logo holding it on.

Be very careful working the door panel out around the seat belt. It's a tight fit and that's where both of my panels cracked. Just take it slow and see where the panels are "sticking".

I'd advise using marine vinyl for the inserts, as it does not fade in the sun.

Don't know anything about the mirror, but I also need to replace my passenger one someday.
