Bugger ! :(

Ive only got a T20 screwdriver which takes off all the body work etc, I need a T10 for the mirrors so clipped it all back together. Working from home tomorrow so will pop out in the morning and pick up a T10 and get them fitted during "lunch".

Bless her, she says "but there not the same colour as your car :undecided:"

"Don't worry, you wouldn't understand" was the reply :D

ARGH !

I cant get the cover off. I've got this far. . .



 
 . . . and according to this guide (http://golfgtiguides.co.uk/guides/remove-mk5-wing-mirror-and-change-indicator/) I need to "Pry the two tabs gently using a flat bladed screwdriver"



Ive already managed to snap it a little bit, no matter how much I pry (do I pry forward, backwards?) It wont budge and f**k knows how im going to get to the one nearest the car, there just isnt any room (its so far back you cant see it in the pic I posted)  :angry: :cry:

Any help Jim?
