    I recently busted mine out and have just aquired my new one but do not want to pay 40 bucks for them to undo a couple of screws and through it back together. I am wondering if any of you on here could help me do it as you need to take off the paneling but I am un sure as to how to do it. A free meal is in it for anyone who is willing to help me. It is a simple switch but just a little confusing so please can someone help me out.

    I can help I put mirrors on cars all the time. I work for a rental car company and they're always breaking them off in the car wash.

    ehh...I dont think that would be a good idea as my mother is throwing a rather large event that after noon and I do not think she would be happy with that. So I guess pick somewhere else, I am willing to drive on down to your place as I guess we need some sort of garage or driveway to work at. Sorry for not being able to have you over and come out my way

    Hey, I dont think I am going to be able to make it any time today as I have lost track of time and got many things to do before I leave on my trip this week. I am sorry about taking up your time if you had anything planned today but thanks for your generosity in offering your services and I hope to meet you sometime in the near future.

    Alright well I decided to try and tackle this myself today and I got the paneling off succesfully but how the hell do I get the friggin screws out for the mirror. I have tried every screwdriver I got and nothing worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?
