I actually didn’t. There were a few on pass side that part of the top clip broke off. I rotated and re-used.
I would say when I change door speakers I probably will have to change some clips at that time.
Best chance of success is pulling deliberately and somewhat quickly. I was able to start at the panel nearest the hinges and work my way around. Seemed to go best.
One other thing-the upper door trim needs to come off as well. When installing make sure you get the weatherstripping back right—it goes over the trim piece.
It is not hard, and makes more sense when you do it.
All's well that ends well...... Finally tackled the mirror swap. I was glad I picked up one of those plastic trim pry bar kits from amazon ,the door panel took some force to get popped. First door took less than 30 minutes until I dropped the 7 mm screw down the hole in the arm rest after putting it all back together. Used some tissue to plug said hole in second door panel to save taking it off a second time and searching for renegade screw.
I must say, now that the new mirrors are in , they were worth all the trail and tribulation . I feel 100% safer with less blind spot and the blinker indicator in the front of the mirror just might let the driver next to me know what the hell I'm about to do. Besides, they look better than the stock Denali mirrors.
This has been a great thread and thanks to all who posted. Leveling out the rear is next.......
