Title: Rear View Mirror
Post by: FOREST GREEN on 13 March 2010, 19:53

Is there an easy way to remove the mirror from the windscreen without breaking the windscreen?  :undecided: I want to replace it with a more upto date version

You can remove the mirror by twisting it clockwise iirc.

This doesn't remove the part that's stuck to the windscreen though.. that will never come off.

+1, they aren't really designed to come on and off though and I have cracked a windscreen on a Polo doing it! Fair enough it was colder then 0 but watch it.

As for the base, as Joe said, don't try it.
