how do you remove the door mirrors

I've read what the bible has to say and I'm still none the wiser. I'm trying to get the door open button off. Do i need to take the mirror off to get access to it, if so, how?

To remove the glass, tilt the glass all the way up, this will reveal a little black tab under the middle of the glass.
Use masking tape to protect the paint , and then use a screwdriver to move the tab (left IIRC) this will release the glass.
There are 3 self tappers that go through the frame into the rear plastic, remove these and you should be able to get at the door release.

Why do you need to get at it?

The door release is very intermittent on the drivers side since i picked it up from the garage. They were under the dash replacing a bulb at one point and stuck down little grey box (far left- doors maybe) and the meta alarm box.
I've checked the relays by swapping them around and the problem is still there.
So i was going to swap the buttons around to rule them out as a possible cause.
Any advise?

You could pop the speaker out and find the two wires that come from the button, (they should be seperate from the normal mirror wires) and dab a short piece of wire across them, this may help you to prove the button.

Job Done!!
My mirrors were only velcroed onto the mounts so access to the button was very easy.
The button was the problem, it was broken wire and the last owner must have tried a botch repair with some black tape.
All soldered up now with no problems
Thanks again for all your help
