I need to gain access to the motor and gearing in one of the outside
mirrors on my '95.

Do I need to remove the mirror from the door first or is there some
way to access by moving the glass over to one side or ??

 

As a followup about my power mirror problem (well, I should say it is now an EX problem), I was able to easily pop the glass off revealing the power unit. Figuring I had nothing to lose by opening the unit (pulling the door pretty much completely apart to reroute the wiring harness seemed like a decidedly unfun project), I found the problem.

A small motor drives a worm gear assembly that moves the mirror up and down and a 2nd motor drives a 2nd worm gear that moves the mirror right and left. In my case, the up/down worm gear was slipping on the motor shaft. So I thoroughly cleaned the motor's shaft and inside of the worm drive, roughened up the motor shaft with an emery cloth and epoxied the drive onto the shaft. I left the epoxy set up, reassembled the unit and remounted everything. The power mirror now works like a champ!

Thought this might be helpful to someone else facing the same problem!

 

Dontcha love it when you figure it out yourself and then FIX it?

Well that and not having to pay $50 for a used, "non repairable" (as I was told by an "expert") assembly

Fixed the fuel sending unit too! Now to take care of the lousy AM radio reception, although I think I know the cause of that one!
