Hello, John Talley here with partzilla.com. Today we're going to be adding a set of side mirrors
to our Can-Am Maverick. Now if you spend any time in one of these machines, you know just how obscure
the rear view is, especially if you've got something in the bed. Side view mirrors-- they're
going to be required on a Can-Am Maverick, so let's step over to the table and take a look at the ones
I chose to put on this unit. All right guys, the ones I've chosen to go with are from Can-Am, and
they actually attach to the doors. Now keep in mind if that's not what you want, they do offer a set--
I think they call in the race version-- that mount up high on the roll cage. Now one of the
first things you're going to need to do before you get started is go to the instructions page
or website for this particular product in this particular unit, and print out the
instructions, because at the very end of the instruction there's going to be a small link
that says templates and you're going to need to access that and then print them out, because
they're very specific areas that we have to drill into these doors to get these mounted. Now as far
as the drill bit sizes, I will call those out as I go along. Don't be afraid, it's not going to be
that tough. So let me go open up my toolbox, get my drill bits, and then we're going to dive into this.
I've got the templates printed out and we're going to be ready to go, and you only need one
because you'll just reverse it when we go to the other side as it's just going to be a mirror image.
Now they're going to be two holes that we drill here, and then we're going to enlarge them to 25
millimeters which is actually right at an inch, so that's the hole saw that we're going to use.
Let's go ahead and lay it in place
and we're going to end up with holes here,
and here.
Now the next two, we're going to be using this template
and it goes around the door locking mechanism. But there's a plate or a cover on the other side that
we need to remove before we can actually get this in place. So let's get the door held open,
get that plate removed, and I'll show you how to place this
template. Alright guys, there's only one panel we need to remove and it's held in by t30 torx right here.
Okay, so it should slide out now.
There we go.
With the cover plate out of the way, we need to remove
this door panel screw and then also the clip that's behind it,
because that will end up being one of the holes that we're going to use to mount the mirror .
See if we can reach in here and get this guy out of here.
There she is.
What I did is I just grabbed up inside of here, pulled this up to release tension, and
then it just slid out. Piece of cake. Next we need to line up here and here
with these two points so we can mark that one. Now to get this template to fit up in there correctly,
I shaved off a quarter inch off the top and the bottom, so now it should fit in there... and it does.
That should be us, and now we're going to mark it.
That's my center point.
That's what we're going after. Now to keep
the drill bit from wandering on metal, what we're going to do is use a punch
right in the center of that mark
and that is what we're going to go in with our drill bit: that exact point.
Now I'm also going to step drill this, so in other words i'm going to use like a 1/8
inch first, let that be my pilot, and then we're going to come back with the finishing drill bit
which they want to be 10 millimeters, and in our case we're going to use a 3/8ths
So that should be enough to give it enough room in there. Let's go.
Now our 3/8ths...
A little bit of an angle because of that bracket.
That should do it.
So next we're going to drill out the holes on the back side on the plastic
using a one-inch hole saw, so let's go.
All right guys, we've almost got this whipped. Now we're just going to feed through,
get that one started.
Get our second one-- a little bit tight getting around that uh, latch but in she goes.
Now we can reinstall our inner panel.
There we go.
All right guys, there you go. Now I just need to jump on the other side and knock it out and
excuse the pun, but it is a mirror image of this side. Well listen, if you need these or
