So the other day I was backing out of my garage, which is a tight fit with all the crap we have shoved in there, and I managed to break the mirror frame on the garage door rail (weeps). So all the components still work - the glass isn't broken, the BSM still lights up, the turn signal light still works, the mirror is adjustable, etc. The only issue is that the whole frame is busted up. The rear cap looks okay as well. From what I can tell I can order the part I need (KE40-69-121K) online for about $140 +shipping. To get it from my dealer is $205 + $86 labor, and that's only if they agree that all the parts which are working just fine don't need to be replaced.
I guess I'm curious how difficult the replacement is - do I need to pull off the door panel on the inside to unplug the wiring harness? Or can it all be accessed by unscrewing the bolts from the outside and then unplugging it? Anyone else attempted this? If I can get it done for $150 + a few hours, that's a whole lot more appetizing than spending a minimum of $300.
Thanks for any input.
