Mirror removal

Post by TSF » Thu Jun 08, 2006 7:54 pm

Hi Lads,

Can anyone tell me how to replace a new door mirror :? Does the whole assembly have to come off and if so any idea how to get up into the small nut inside the door ?


Cheers

Pop the black plastic rim off and replace the glass.
If you're not living on the edge you're wasting too much space!

Hi Stephen,

unfortunately :cry: I need to replace the whole mirror as the back casing is broken as well.

I think once the glass is of you can release the spring and the mirror comes off.
FYI the mirror is from a metro.

It covers the recess where the screw that holds the mirror onto the plinth is.
