5.  Hex bit.

3.  Save and set aside together.

2.  Set aside and save

3.  This helps to release the door paneling.

2.  Note: cover and screw removed in door unlocking lever area.

2.  At #2 there are two clips to unhook. 

3.  The clips remain attached to the door panel.

4.  Once all the clips are separated from the door, lift and pull the panel to separate the panel from the window sill.  The panel separates from the window sill by prying toward you. 

5.  Dead center of the panel, there is a clip.  Keep pulling the panel to get it completely off. (Not sure which way.  Keep jiggling).

Caution:  Watch for the door lock pin.

2.  #2 Power cables that go to the driver's master window switches.

3.  #3 Unhook the green cable from the door, not the panel.

4.  The passenger side is similar.

2.  The right-most power connector:  Release the inner connector from the outer connector Use a small flat screw driver to widen the outer connector and pull on the wires of the inner connector to separate the two.

2.  Set aside the master switch.

2.  Slot #6: Green; Slot #5: Black; Slot #4: Grey; Slot #3: Red.

2.  Slot#12: Orange; Slot #11: Pink; Slot #10: White; Slot#7: Brown

2.  #1 is the wires that power the mirror.  #2 is the speaker wires (leave alone).  #3 is the T-30 screw that needs to be remove (this is 1 of 3).  Save the screw.

3.  The 2nd T-30 screw is then visible when removing the tweeter from the metal door.  Remove and save this screw (2 of 3).

Remove and save the 3rd T-30 screw.

2.  #2 is the plastic trim that has the tweeter mesh grill.

3.  Note the rubber accordion shape tubing.  The mirror power wires run through it.  After removing the 3rd T-30 screw, the whole stock mirror housing and bracket can be removed.  You should be able to thread the wires through the rubber accordion tubing.

1.  The stock mirror is released by pushing to the right as far as possible, thus releasing the left 2 clips.  Then push the mirror to the left to unsnap the right side.  Note the positions of the two black wires that keep the mirror from being totally remove.  Remove the two black wires.

2.  At #1 unscrew the screws that hold the motor to the mirror housing.  Remove the motor and save.

3.  Note the orientation of the screw pattern!!! 

4.  In order to thread the wires out to release the motor from the stock housing, remove a small 1.5"x1.0" plate at the bottom where the mirror housing connects to the metal bracket.  Feed the wires toward the housing and retrieve the motor.  You don't have to cut any heat shrink wrap.

2.  Thread the wires through the hole shown here.

2.  Thread the wires through that middle hole.

2.  Also retrieve the triangular foam piece from the stock mounting bracket (#2).  Install it in the ACS Bracket.

3.  #3 is the wires of the mirror.

2.  Note #3.  Those wires attach to the mirror.  These wires heat the mirror to defog them.

3.  Attach the new ACS mirrors to the defog wires and snap the mirror into place, similar to removing the mirrors. 

4.  Note the accordion rubber housing is placed back into place.  No heat shrink wrap needs to be cut.

2.  Place the tweeter cover back.  Snap the plastic cover back into place.

2.  Reinsert the inner housing into the outer plastic housing.

3.  Plug the connector back into the original spot.

2.  Before remounting door panel, check to see if the mirrors function properly.  The passenger mirror should tilt downward when the car is in reverse.

3. Remount the door panel by hammering the door panel with the bottom of your fist.  The window sill area is pushed into place.  Make sure you insert the door locking pin through its corresponding hole.

4.  Place back window switches.

5.  Place the appropriate ACS Sticker in its spot.

6.  Any extra unknown parts?  Hope not!!!

7.  Hope this helps out.  Installation took me about 4 hours because I was taking pictures.  Once you finish one, the other side is much quicker.  This may apply to all aftermarket sport mirrors (ACS, BMW, Hamann, and Racing Dynamics).
