How to remove drivers side mirror 70 Charger?

[Beach Goat]

My mirror adjuster is rattling inside the door and I tried to remove the chrome side mirror from the outside. I loosened the one visible screw but the screw is still captured and something else is holding the mirror to the door. How do I get this thing off? It looked so simple haha!

There’s a threaded stud with a nut that you’ll have to access by removing the door panel. They can be awkward to reach but a good set of extensions make it do able.

You can see the nut on this mirror.

Some of the cheby style mirrors only had one set screw but then you push the mirror forwards and it comes off. Soo might be a former chevy guy.

Yeah, some Pontiac stuff also...it was a GM thing....
Ha Ha
I used to be into Pontiacs (Still am)
I'll never forget the day I helped my Bud pull his 383 from a 69 Superbee
After working on Pontiacs, 389s and 400s (326, 400 and 455 Block is all the same size externally)
When we got that 383 out I was shocked at the size of it.
Compared to a 400 Pontiac it looked Huge!

I'm just bustin' yer chops. Logically if there's no fasteners in sight then they MUST be under it. Inside the door cavity would be the place to look. Some have one post and a placement tab and some have two posts. Roll up the window to get it out of your way and reach up in there. Remember to have a helper hold the mirror so it doesn't fall out and scratch up the door, or tape it up so it stays there till you can get a hand on it...

Beach Goat, the best advice I ever got was “Check the manual.” I printed one out, I’ve used it for nearly everything. I think this should be yours- large PDF but worth having (on the list).
