How to replace a 81 FI Spider exterior mirror

[Betis]

It has 2 screws but I am wondering, are there any nuts under them? Or you can just remove the screws. Does the door panel needs to be removed?
The one I have, the glass is move by hand, not the one that has the inside routing for moving the glass from the insiide.
Thanks in advance

I have the mirror that's adjustable from the inside, but there are no nuts. You remove the two screws and it lifts off of a base bracket mounted seperately to the door...I'd imagine yours would be the same, but YMMV.

I recently put aftermarket mirrors on. The original driver's side adjustable mirror had two tapping screws but no nut holding it on. I did have to remove the door panel to install the aftermarket ones though because they were bolt on from the inside of the door.

If they are a different design from the original, I would be grateful if you could post a link to the aftermarket mirrors you purchased. My mirror's plastic body is pretty gnarly - looks like someone painted it with a crappy paintbrush. I was thinking of sanding and repainting it. But then again, the adjustment mechanism broke (the day we bought the car!), so replacement is also appealing. And the original design is rather utilitarian '80s-looking.

Here's a link to my mirror thread. Got them from AutoRicambi.

In the link below I bought same ones as Wachuko. (scroll down some) You can't remotely adjust them though. Not sure if you're looking for ones that do.
