Braders Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi, some idiots decided to kick my drivers side wing mirror off my car, i have a replacement but its just black, they didnt do any others on the website, i was wondering whether i could somehow swap over the back covers of the mirror from my old one and transfer it onto my new one so it matches the car? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not strictly the easier way. The easier way is to look under the mirror. You'll see where to insert a screwdriver the push the clips out at the bottom. Theres no clips at the top so this is the easier option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraYankee99 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You can push them from the inside if you move the mirror on the outside edge you can pop the edge out out to get it started. Saves removing the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraYankee99 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 First time I took mine off I damaged the black plastic but managed to repair it ok. A mate in a body shop showed me how to get them off easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
