[s-cars] replacing driver-side mirror

[Robert Rossato]

Again, going by memory here but, the wiring harness should pull up with the mirror.  May have to mess with it a bit.  I don't recall having to take the door panel off when we replaced the driver's mirror on Bys' car.

78F at lunch time here in CT.  Last couple of days have been great.  Thanks Canada for sending that natural AC down.
