Is it the 4e one?
Do you still need help with it?
I can either post screenshots from elsa in this thread or upload them to photobucket or any other service.

I was looking for a xps viewer too, and then I found if:-

1) you have a gmail account
2) you open your email in the webbrowser
3) you open the attachment as "view" (instead of download)

you can see the file

In fact, in Google docs, you can then have the option to "print" (which downloads it as a pdf, doing the conversion to pdf for you)

Really sorry guys for taking so much space, but I'm using iPad for Internet and it doesn't allows you to attach the files as a attachments, I can only upload them directly so they can be seen in full size in the actual post.

This is all I found, removing the mirror including all the steps such as door trim etc.
Hope that really helps as I've got little time to look into it in more detail, will speak to you later

Hi Guy,

Don't suppose you have those before and after pics? I have S8 mirrors on order so will be doing this also soon. It would also be good to know how long it took you, was it a full door card off job, if you broke any clips in the process that I should get ahead of time and any other tips you may have.

Or just share a full 'how to' to make it a really easy job for me

Cheers,

Oli

So, I had a go at this today and I had my driver's door completely in pieces. I can't believe how well built and sturdy the D3 is...it does make this job quite a bit more difficult.

I got stuck unfortunately.... I got the interior trim, door card, B&O speaker and exterior mirror housing off but I could not for the life of me work out how to pull the mirror wire (#4 below)through the door to take it off....

Would anyone know?

Guy, did you take off the entire mirror assembly or just swap covers?

Thanks,

Oli
