Removing mirror cover

[Hazza]

Whats the best technique in removing the mirror covers?...

Is it folding them back and wedging a screwdriver in and prising it off?...

 

[Turner]

sledge hammer ftw,lol

If that method doesnt work try a flat blade wrapped in a cloth/rag to protect the cover from chipping

^^^^exactly what I used...cloth and flat head...underneath the mirror itself.
Feels like it is going to crack....but it will just pop off.

 

[Hazza]

Underneath? As in where the sensor hole is?

NOOOO fold the mirror in then use a flat blade wrapped in tape or cloth and do it from the hing end of the cover

I did one of mine from underneath and snapped off the plastic catches that hold the cover on. Still holds on reasonably securely but not perfect. Will try above method on the other one!

i removed the glass on mine found it alot easier as i could see where the clips holding it on were

How do I remove the mirror?

 

[Ste 185]

open the door take the black cover off above the door card.there are 3 torx screws remove these and its off

 

[Ste 185]

hang on messed up there. push the glass so u can get your fingers behind and pull it away it wont break

Remove the glass, it pops out. Then you unclip the hooks for the rear cover.

So i pull the glass out and unclip the hooks for the rear cover, then take it off, put the new one on, then pop the glass back on?

 

[Ste 185]
