I didn't post at the start of this project because there were so many ways it could have totally failed.
But now that it's done (one side anyway), the pics are below.
I have no service manuals or schematics for the car so I was on my own throughout the entire project. It was very scary.
I did not hack the factory mirror since the fallback was to put it back on if things did not work out. Instead, I constructed my own bracket
to hold the triangle window and powered window guide assembly. The camera and molding were then fastened on to the new bracket.
I would be happy to answer questions, but I am no way recommending that you attempt it unless you are very comfortable with taking
things apart that have no visible fasteners and know how to cut, form, and weld steel. You will need good wiring and body working skills as
well.
