You will have to remove the door panel to install the remote control for the mirror. Also, there is a clamp that is attached to the door beam to keep the cable from moving around. You may be missing the part. Here's some photos. I should be able to answer any questions you have. Tom    |

You'll also have to cut out a notch in the door panel. It looks the guys at the factory just did it with a jig saw.  |

On a 71-74 AMC Javelin the door panel trim is two piece with remote mirror.....it is hidden on the ends by the mirror bezel, so you could cut our original one piece trim

Hey, Stefan. I doubt the clamp is there, since the car didn't come equipped with a remote mirror. But you never know. you should be able to come up with some type of clamp though. Here's some pics of what the clamp looks like.    |

The factory clamp looks similar to the rad. overflow hose retainer. I'm sure a plastic cable tie would work as well.
