Hi, I have an '04 3500 Ram with factory Towing mirrors. I broke the driver's side mirror and have a replacement. The problem is how do I remove the plastic molding to effect the swap without destroying it? Two of the 3 mounting screws are clear, but the top door molding is probably held by clips. In which direction should I apply force and how? Steve
If you are talking about the small plastic molding directly on the inside of the door opposit the mirror, it comes off with the door panel. It is attached to the door panel. To take it off of the door panel, you must first take off the door panel.
Hope this helps, sorry if I misunderstood your ???
Remove the interior handle 1a. Remove the screw from the underside of the handle and remove the inside handle.
Remove the screws at the mirror flag and near the inside handle (2 screws)
CAUTION: Trim panel is attached to the door using hooks molded into the panel. Do not pull the trim panelstraight off or damage to the panel and/or power switch assembly may occur
Lift the trim panel up off the belt seal and attachment hooks and separate panel from the door slightly
Disconnect the power window switch electrical connector and remove trim panel
