Side-view Mirror Adjustment/Removal

If you have a loose mirror, it can easily be adjusted. From the outside of the car, grab the
mirror - and swivel it towards the front of the car. You will see a torx head cap stud. Get the
correct torx driver and tighten... : ) Don't loosen though - if you do, and the backing nut falls
off inside the door - you'r not gonna be happy while the mirror dangles against the paint while
you remove the door panel!!

You should be able to remove the Allen head mirror base mount bolt without the internal
threaded plate falling into the door, yours may have been damaged previously. I have
however thought it was going to happen, but so far I have removed countless mirrors without
hearing that dreaded "clunk" !!

I would like to thank the folks who helped me out with sourcing the Extraction Tool listed in
the 928 Shop manuals. The PORSCHE book does not list a PORSCHE p/n for it and after
spending a while at the "Dealer" they were unable to supply me with info.

The "Extraction Tool" I needed when repairing my side mirror was in fact a "common"
electrical tool

The list prompted me to check with AMP & Radio Shack. After a visit to the local MB Dealer,
I actually saw one (& got the p/n). It was then I was able to purchase it from an online dealer
such as DigiKey
http://www.digikey.com/scripts/US/DKSUS.dll?Criteria?Ref=15392&Cat=16253290

FYI:
it's an AMP #305183 Extraction Tool (about $12-15)
& after all that bother, I didn't even need it!
