Hi all
Some tosser knocked my wing mirror today while I was in town :angry:
Damage isn't too bad, small crack in the clear glass indicator section. Does anyone know who these things come apart? Seems to be a small panel underneath perhaps screws behind that? Reckon I could do a repair job if I can get it apart without breaking it!
Thanks

The indicator light is available separately. They are around £25 from the dealers.
To fit them you need to pretty well dismantle the mirror. It's not all that daunting tho'. This link shows how to do the job on a Mk5 Golf. Having changed them on both my old Passat (which has the same mirrors) and my Mk6 Golf, they are pretty similar.

With the right tools it's easy enough. A set of plastic trim removal tools are invaluable in any tool kit. They needed be expensive either. I think I paid less that a tenner for mine off ebay.

Lol. Yep I've got 'em all and was careful, but crack it went.
Right bastard, 2 days after picking up the new car. I was attempting to fit LED's. I just left it well alone and fitted the new glass as I couldn't be bothered replacing the passenger side as well.
-
Just tried both mine with my trim removal tool. No problems at all. And that was only a practice for fitting the led's tonight. :smiley: oh and I used the instructions that are shown in elsawin.
-
For reference I did mine yesterday and pulled the mirror to one side followed by by hand pulling from behind. Had no problems at all, may of got lucky, but just wiggle it a bit and take your time should be ok

Just done my LED puddle lights:
