[s-cars] replacing driver-side mirror

[matt ludwig]

was just going to reply with my findings...

i stumbled through and by luck- removed the entire frickin' side  
mirror by doing exactly what you say Bob!.... only to find out that  
the motor wiring cable (~ 10 inches long w/ male connection at end  
(enter easy joke here, Pizzo : )) is buried inside the door and does  
NOT want to come up through it's hole where it disappears to. now,  
the hole is definitly big enough to fit the connection (i have seen  
the size on the new mirror i have) but it will not budge. anyone have  
a Bently procedure they could share or a diagram as to how long the  
'other' connectors wires are to see if i do yank, will it come to me?

DC heat = 95F and counting....

many thanks!!
