Title: Removing glass from mirror housing
Post by: Ady TDI on 22 November 2010, 12:32

I dont think the passenger heated mirror is working properly as it takes ages for the ice to defrost, where the driver one seems to do it in no time.

How do you remove the glass from the housing so i can either replace or repair

Angle the glass into the car and then grab the outer edge and pull

Its held in by some spring clips.  You might be able to get a flathead screwdriver in behind to help lever it off  :smiley:
