Door mirror bits needed

[Trefor]

Other half managed to wack the passenger door mirror on our 56 plate GTi. Glass is gone and the indicator lens is damaged. The painted plastic area looks OK and the mirror seems to fold/behave OK otherwise.

Can someone explain if and how i can take the mirror apart and just replace the indicator lens. I also assume the glass can be ordered and slotted in quite easily?

Is a VW dealer the best place, or one of the VAG suppliers (I don't want to wait too long).

Thanks for any advice.

i would just call the parts dept of your local dealer, and it cant be that hard to pull it apart.

Thanks.

I just bought the bits from the dealer (yes, you can get them separately and they were in stock), someone else on another fourm gave me a link and I saw how easy it is.

The large outer cover of the mirror unclips. You then release the glass from the motor (clipped on again) and disconnect the two heating connections. You then get access to two small torx screws that hold the repeater led plastic bit on.

The section with the leds in it is about £17.

Assembly is the reverse...
