How to remove side view mirrors?

[ericem]

Right now im pulling off the driver side mirror, because there is wind noise coming through the mirrors, people said there is a gasket that needs to be shapped so there is no more wind noise, but something is stopping the mirrors from comming off, its just 3 screws right? Thanks guys.

I wouldn't think that you need to remove the mirrors to cure the problem. My 02 OBW had the same problem on the driver's side. I found that when driving at speed, I could cure the problem by pressing the inner seal towards the glass. I simply lowered the glass into the door and squeezed the seal together from top to bottom with the heals of my hands, but not excessively so. The seal has a thin metal interior to hold its shape. Once the glass was up and the car was up to speed, no more wind noise. As to removing the mirrors, any I have ever removed have simply been the 3 nuts or bolts (depending on the car), and a gentle rocking back and forth of the mirror, in order to break free the gasket that may be holding the mirror to the door outer skin. Good luck!
