182 - Rear View Mirror Removal.

[Jason_E]

I've bought a new rear view/interior mirror to replace the wavey one in my 182. Only problem is, I cant get the old one off! 17 year old Jason broke a windscreen on a car doing this, so im a bit wary.

It would appear that the mirror+Mount slide up off the windscreen, but theres a rain sensor in the way!

Any tips/tricks? I tried searching the forums, seems a few people have asked this but no answers!

can't assist with original query but where did you source new mirror and is it complete unit and genuine?

Used one off ebay mate. Just had a look around, seems like I couldve just got a new one for a bit more...

If its the same as my 172 which i guess it would be. its attached by a slide bracket, which slides upwards, as in slides towards the roof.

I do seem to remember having to remove some sort of module which was blocking me from sliding it off. Remove the module, slide it off, put new one on, then reattach module.

Can anyone recommend a rear view mirror that will attach to the rain sensor? It's currently got a cover cap over. Renault clio 2003
