Has anyone ever done this, i need to remove the part that attaches the mittor to the door, as it needs respraying - reckon it was never painted correctly when i picked it up from the garage, but they are having none of it, but anywho to cut a long story shrt the paint is peeling off and i wish to re spray it

So has anyone every removed it before, or know if a) its possible and b) is tricky!!

 

fab thank you

 

Pictures won't show up for me I click the grey squares and nothing happens. I really need these instructions too as my mirror is gone (thanks to some construction debris!) and I need to replace it asap.

EDIT - Ahhh-- Just broken in Firefox - thanks to IE Tab plugin in firefox i have my images. I assume these isntructions work for US Fit? (or close enough?)

 

I want to know how to remove the actual mirror itself.

I've got some blue tinting film which is like a hydro foil. Basically it beads the water up on the mirror as I don't have heated mirrors.

I've tried yanking at it but the mirror won't budge, any ideas?

 

I finally got around to sorting the mirror - needed to re paint it as it was all flaking off

Few tips. The door trim is the most tricky part - once you remove that it gets easier!!

Discovered you have to remove the wiring harness with the mirror - luckily a piece of string tied to the end means you can get it back around and through the door panel easily.

Dont know if it happens to everyone but my electric window on the drivers side didnt work after i plugged it back in, several presses up and down on the switch and hey presto, maybe its one of those weird things you have to do several times to make it work?!
