Technical Barchetta Door Mirror Removal

[Sasha1995]

Hi all,

Newbie here, does anyone have a guide on how to remove the Barchetta Door mirrors? Is it an easy/relatively straight forward task?

I need to sort out one of mine as it has quite bad lacquer peel

Many thanks,

Sasha

Straight forward, a good grip, then with a little resistance turn 90 degrees. Allen key required to take out the bolts.

If you have electric mirrors, loosen the concertina rubber fitting in the door to frame. Fish out the correct wire and disconnect at the join. As its difficult to re thread back down after removing the mirror I suggest attaching a something to the bottom of the wire lead to pull it back hopefully this will save taking the door card off.

Hello all,

I'm still a little confused about removing the wing mirror motor cable. Any advice I've attached photos.

You will find connections are inside the door pillar that have to be pulled out. via your rubber concertina joint. Your fingers are in the correct place.

Hello Brian thank you for message. I am still struggling here I've attached a link to a video I filmed. I can't seem to find the connection you are referring to. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sasha,
You need to remove the large speaker panel that's in the footwell, you will find the connection in that area

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the insight, I've attached a couple of photo it seems the plastic cover is a little tricky to come off but I have taken a couple of screws off so I can peer behind it (as well as taken the red plastic/cover out of the way so I can see behind where the wires feed throughout the body to the door and I STILL cannot find any connecting wires. Am I being silly, I've attached photos and a video.

AS Dave writes, now take out the speaker or remove its plastic panel. it seems the wires are trapped behind it.

Hello all,

Thank you for your patience on this. So I've had a further look at and the hidden wires do not seem to head anywhere.

Therefore my final choice is to take the plastic trim that cover the speaker, however without fear of breaking it I see two screws that are easy to take off (which I have already done) but there seems to be a connecting piece by the seat (see pic) with a round plastic top that seems to cover a screw maybe? Does this come off with a flat head screw driver? Or am I mistaken?

Cheers for all your help again.

That round top is just a screw head cover. It will easily pry off.

The plastic inner sill trip will lift off upwards. There are little clips on the underside that stop the flat top edge from lifting the door rubber.

You can get this trim off without lifting the door rubber but is more fiddly to put back. Suggest you lift up the door rubber to make things easier.
