Hi all,

I'm a proud owner of a new to me 1996 Jaguar XJS 4.0 - in British Racing Green of course!
I've actually had the car about 5-6 weeks now and have been busy sorting out a few minor things, such as the AC and some detailing. Overall she's a very solid, beautiful car with 46k miles on the clock. This is my first Jaguar and I'm in complete understanding of how everyone has been captivated by this charming seductress. A Jag has always been on my bucket list and I found the right one and took the plunge.

The passenger side mirror's chrome is in less than great shape, so I'm looking at a replacement perhaps. I've searched these forums and couldn't find the exact answer to my question so I thought I'd post it here. I did find how to remove the mirror, but can I replace it without having to remove the door panel? My concern is the wiring... will it pull out through the top with the mirror making it a simple fix? Or do I have to remove the door panel and fish around in there with the wires?

Thank you in advance for any help!
Ryan

Welcome to the Forums.

That LAST of the real Jags.

The XJS Tech Section will have the answer for your mirror, so I suggest a re-ask in there.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums Ryan,

Looking at the connector and the short harness length in this Parts Catalogue diagram, it could be a challenge to access and release the connector from the outside but best ask the question in XJS forum.



I'd be surprised if the harness is not clipped inside the door to prevent rattles.
