    Did you not get it on the insurance jobby since it would be her fault - or did she drive off? (Need a dashcam!!!) Awful when things like this happen ::angry:

    This keeps cropping up and the answer is always, Yes you do need to remove the door card.

    When my electric fold mirror was knocked off, I removed the round black rubber bung inside the door behind the mirror, removed the screws, pulled the mirror away from the door., at the same time catching the cable and plug, disconnect plug, replace with new mirror and fit in reverse. !0 minute job.

    I have posted this before and no one refuted it.

    Just been out to my car to check that I'm not dreaming. There is a black bung behind the mirror mount.

    i did get the number on my dash cam but i have to pay the first £200 on a claim plus is it worth the hassle going through insurance for maybe less than £200 for a new mirror.

    they will always say its 50 /50 ect as well.i know what you mean though :smile:

    Got the door mirror fitted today ,bit fiddly and def a 2 man job (one to hold the mirror whilst the other gets the wire located)

    hardest part is removing the door handle trim.used some cheap trim tools from ebay big help.just be very careful to get a buddy to hold the mirror firm so as not to scratch to paintwork...i think there was 3 torx screws and 1 bolt to remove plus the door clips.

    i cut the old mirror wiring loom and used some string to pull the new loom through worked well.
