OEM Style Trailer Mirrors & Door Panel Clips

Hi All, Bot some OEM style electric/heated trailer mirrors to go on my 99. I also bot the Mopar metal brackets that seem to be needed with them. I have a couple questions before I start, would like to go into it prepared if possible. Does the metal bracket go between the mirror and the door, or on the interior side of the door? I'm pretty sure I'd figure it out when I have it apart, but you never know. Also, knowing me, I'll break a pant load of the retainer clips taking the panel off. Does anyone have a part number (NAPA preferably) or accurate description for the clips? I've gone into a couple shops including NAPA and they have no idea. Show me to their rack of clips and say match it up. I'd rather have a bag or two of clips before the panel's laying in the driveway rather than after. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. The pics aren't showing on my work computer, I'll give it look at home.

Clips you are looking for

I just pulled the corner of the door back at the top when I did mine, worked fine

Perfect, thanks again. I don't do small places well , so I'll probably remove the panel.

Bracket goes inside door between door and nuts.

If you are using the factory control switch you may need to pare off some of the plastic sealer on the back side to clear the longer mounting studs.

Don't pinch the wires when threading thru the mirror and door!! This has caused more than one headache. The mirrors have a path for the wires, use it.
