I'm painting my side mirrors on my '02 but ran into a little snag trying to remove them (The passenger side anyway, haven't tried the drivers but assume its the same.)
I've got the inside panel off that covers the tweeter and the bolts, removed all three bolts holding the side mirror on (and even removed the bolt holding the tweeter in place) and the mirror becomes loose and I can start to pull it out but after pulling out less than a half inch or so, there appears to be another bolt that is somewhat loose but the head of the bolt is larger than the hole its through so it will not pull through. If this bolt should be removed, then I can't see how it should be removed. There appears to be no way to access it from the inside (aka the bolt-head side). It also doesn't appear to be just an insert or pin that just needs to be tugged on and will pop out cause i can see it pretty good and its def a bolt and after giving it a decent tug its def gonna bend the metal plate its bolted through before its gonna come out.
I've searched here and haven't found any indication of anybody having this extra unremovable bolt (and how to get it out). Anyone?
I've got a 2002 FSM I could reference, but its stuck in my storage unit right now and I can't get to it for a few days or so. Any help is appreciated.
