who has driver side remote mirror?

[tmaddux911]

So I sent my Bronco to paint and the painter took off the driver side remote mirror. No biggie except when putting it back together i noticed that there is something missing to attach the remote to the inside of the door. There is either an insert that goes in the door, or some kind of nut for the backside. I can not find any info or diagrams any where on these mirrors. Anyone have any info or pics?

I don't have the pieces easily available to photograph at the moment, but I do have some pictures from my documentation before disassembly that might help. As I recall the lever was in a threaded piece that was part of the lever and was keyed to hold it in place in a notch on the hole in the door while the outer nut screwed onto it. I remember that mirror was a bear to get off.

Well I wandered out to the garage and I actually had the mirror here. Here's the close-up, just like I remembered.

Thats exactly what i have. I just didn't see how it fit in the key way to hold the back side.... Might have to reevaluate it again. Thanks for the info..

The threaded adjuster will only go in the hole one way and it won't rotate because of the flat in it. Torque the outer ring down and that prevents it from moving in and out.

My door's at the media blaster so I can't take a pix, but the opening INSIDE should look like this:

Rotated 90 degrees. It shouldn't be a round circle. The threads go in the rounded part, the "key" tabs in the place where there are no threads (see close-up picture.) Like Thegreatjustino said, the "keys" keep it from rotating and coming through the door, the nut keeps it from falling into the door.

Thanks for the useful info! i was being a total tard trying to figure it out. Next time I'm in the garage i will re-evaluate it.
