This may be in a thread somewhere but I've never been good with the search function, if so, please supply a link. Otherwise, here goes...

Finally installing a pass side mirror and will be taking off the door card, etc. I assume I'll want to drill a small pilot hole from the inside through the nut so the holes are in the right place.

Any other suggestions so as to not "hurt" a perfectly good door and paint job??

TIA.

I'm always nervous before drilling out for the passenger mirror. My current 914 had a passenger mirror installed. I was stoked I didn't have to drill the holes until I removed the mirror prepping for paint. Holes were in the wrong spot. Had to drill the correct holes and weld up the old holes.

I was less nervous drilling the new holes on that door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
