For many models they simply pop in and out with considerable, careful force, they are held in with stiff spring loaded retainers that compress. Do a forum search for more elaboration.

Driver side mirror is held in place with two screws that are a royal pain to get to. I had to remove the door panel, remove the window glass, and then contort myself to get at the 10mm nuts. Have to use a short handle open end wrench. It may work with one of the rachetting wrench, not socket, since not enough room to manuever. Could be my big paws limit my ability, so if you are petite, it could work better. Maybe you can scoop up some small child and stuff him in the door to do it.

I think Vince was thinking of the rearview mirrors, which are held in just as he explained.

Sure was- what a goober post. I was only half way through my first cup of coffee, man!

Vince, what's a goober? It seems there's no end to my learning English.

Looking forward to adding this word to my vocabulary, just as soon as I know what it means.

I can't tell if that's your dry wit, grammar and authenitc word patrol, or if you really want to know-

BUT it's like a slip-up, a buggered-up action, an mistakenly dropped glob of a semi-viscous substance often used for one application of craft or assembly of some kind, a dumb mistake, an ignorant or unhelpful, innaccurate statement, a fumble

Does that help? :confused: :)

[Alex]

It was a straight question, Vince.

I really wanted to know. Never heard that expression before. Thanks.

The Grammar Patrol remains on the prowl. But your writing continues not to require intervention, I am pleased to report.

[VLayton]

OK cool, thanks. I forgot to mention it can also be used to describe a person who is of the qualities described above, or thinks in a goofy, illogical, eccentric way, whether on purpose or by nature, usually to a less than optimum result

a nicer, playful way of calling someone an ignoramus, dumkopft or dumb-axx


Think of how I would have defined a "baller"! :D

So.........I am to understand that short of finding a 1 foot 9 inch MB Mech. that will climb inside the doors, I will have to nearlly dissmantel the doors to remove the mirrors.............. Right :eek: :eek:

thanks .........

I frequently use gooberhead or knucklehead interchangably, particularly when addressing my dog (and sometimes my son). Of course, I also use those monikers to describe myself, particularly whilst working on my diesel car and doing something stupid, which is unfortunately quite often. Also, try butterbrain as an alternative.
