      because they were too stupid to put all three bolts in the fucking triangle πŸ™„

      That little triangle in the front windows near the A-pillar comes off and usually has three bolts to remove the mirror, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Subaru had to hide one of them below that, which means you have to take off the whole door panel just to access it 😬 😑 πŸ˜“ 😈

            I actually thought of cutting a hole πŸ€”

            Shit, I even contemplated cutting part of the frame rail to access the spark plugs 😈 🀐

              @dogisbadob Things were already going wrong if you had to replace a mirror!

                I want to upgrade to heated mirrors, which are plug and play

                  @dogisbadob That's a better reason! Maybe disassemble, plug, reassemble and play in your case.
