Can anybody tell me how to tighten up the mounting of my n/side door mirror? Is it from inside the door or inside the mirror? Can anybody point me at instructions on removing the door panel please?
 
Tim,
Which part is loose? I've had the mirrors off both my 944 and 3.2, if you ******* the mirror ***************************** firm up the mirror.
The mirror pod can also work loose from the base, there is a sprung loaded fixing / pivot bolt through the centre of which the wiring for the mirror goes. Over time and with movement, this works itself lose and the miror falls off the base! I had to fix this on the 944 and it was a right pain in the 4r5e... You have to remove the mirror glass which is mounted on a bezzle, disconnect the wiring (on the 944 I had to remove the pins from the connector block), pull the harness through the bolt, the bolt has a spline key (I filed a broad blade screwdrive to fit) which has to be loaded against the spring and wound back into the mirror body. Refitting is he reverse etc.....

Good luck
 
Many thanks both. I will inspect it next weekend! [:D]
If only there was a Haynes manual for the 993 to cover these minor issues.
