Installing passenger side mirror on 68

[BrokenHero]

Just received my repro from Classic Industries. Looks very nice.

Do I have to take off the door panel to install or is there an easier way?
One screw is simple - the other is sort of "hidden" and consists of a headless bolt and single nut.

I searched the forum for this topic but only found info on drilling holes. My car has the two holes already.

Thanks!

Only way to get access to the hardware is to take the door panel off.

Oh gotcha, thanks!

How hard is it to take the panel off? I'll be adding the mirror on mine too

Did you get the door panel?  If so how tough is it to get off?
thanks

the door panels have the pop-in clips around the bottom and sides, with the top held in with the polished strip (between  the upper and lower). I highly recommend a panel tool, as getting on either side of the clip to pop them out saves the cardboard from tearing. If you only have screw drivers, take your time and go 1 clip at a time. When i took mine off back in the day, it took a lot of work for each clip, and i still accidentially broke the hole on 2 of them.

it may not be for everyones, but attached is the pic with the red arrows pointing in the direction and location of the clips i had in my panels. there may be more/all that are needed for everyone else, but these are what i had, and it holds the new ones on nicely when i reinstalled
