Thanks very much.
I'll definitely save that for springtime unless I get desperate!

Well I was told that with memory yes you do.
Looking at the replacement part I have there's no way you could swap it with the door card in place so I tend to believe that advice.

Did you get OEM mirrors? If so then I think they are polished aluminium either anodised or coated with clear lacquer and would require removing of coating, polishing and re-coating to protect or you would need to polish them every week or 2.
