remove the exterior mirror housing
Does anyone have instruction to replace the exterior mirror housing? I tried to pried off the interior cover by the door to expose the three screws but I could not pop out the cover. I was able to pop out most of the cover but there was one location where no matter how hard I pulled off the cover, the cover wouldn't dislodge. The cover actually bent with my force . I also tried to "lift" out the cover but that didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

RE: remove the exterior mirror housing
What year and model is the van? You are talking about the side mirror?It should just have a plastic cover that pops in/out from the inside of the vehicle. There should be two nuts to remove to get the whole mirror assembly off the door.

RE: remove the exterior mirror housing
Thanks Stewdogg. That is the idea ...
I found how to do it ... it is specifically for an '07 but I think it applies to all newer Express (04+). First pop out the top portion of the cover on the interior side of the door, then slide it upward to totally remove the cover (one might need to use a little force here), then there are three screws that hold the entire mirror housing to the door. That's it!
