This bulletin involves replacing the passenger and/or driver side outside power mirror(s).

NOTE:
THE FOLLOWING REPAIR SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT MIRRORS ONLY IF BOTH MIRRORS CREATE STATIC IN THE RADIO SPEAKERS WHEN THE MIRROR IS OPERATED TO THE END OF ITS TRAVEL.

Base models, have eleven trim panel retaining clips (clips 12 and 13 not used) and premium models have thirteen (Figure 3). It is very important that a trim panel tool is used to separate each retaining clip from the door.
