Awesome post, Tom!

It should be noted that the screw is a Torx screw (at least mine is). I think it's a T15. Also the socket is a 10mm and the SVT doesn't reuse the Torx screw.

Look at you doing writeups. Thought that is what you had minions i mean members for.
:-) Good job.

great writeup tom! im going to need this in about three weeks!

+rep!

Thanks Tom!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome write up Tom. Now if your car doesnt heated mirrors like the svt does and u install the mirrors, does it work.

it should. just turn on your rear defroster.

Thanks! Plan on doing this very soon.

will the svt mirror fit on the sedans and non svt hatches?

Yes it will.
