Passenger mirror questions

I did some quick searches and got some great info but I'm still stuck. I've got a 91 wagon with no passenger mirror. I have an 89 parts wagon that does have one. Will the 89 mirror go onto my 91? I was also wondering if there are any threads explaining the process. I've been bummed on not having it and thinking it was impossible until I ran across someone selling it because it was "rare" on here, so that got me to searching out other threads and here I am now. So yeah, any love for me? Thanks ya'll!

    Is there a trick to the inside plate? I've learned to not use any force when it comes to removing anything on these cars as stuff does break and not all of it is cheap to replace.

    Buy a Chilton.

    Then hopefully you wont have to ask a question every time you do something this small.

    Hey man, thanks for the help. The main question was about the 89 mirror fitting on the 91, pretty sure the chilton does NOT cover that, if it does, by all means, I apologize. The second question was thrown in since the topic was already started, but I got it figured out.

    For anyone who doesn't have a chilton and comes across this issue. There is a piece that pops into place near the top of the plate/tip. Just pull there and it should pop, once it pops, pull up a little and it should be free if it isn't already.

    I'll post back with how the swap goes...

    it's not just 4 screws

    you have to remove the interior door panel and then it is painfully obvious how to put the mirror on.

    this is false.

    yeah, four screws. I didn't have to remove any panels. Well, actually five screws since the knob has to come on or off to go through the door. I broke the first clip but grabbed another from the parts wagon without breaking any tabs...
