Door mirror removal
#1
Hi does anyone know how you remove the glass from the door mirrors without breaking it?

My passenger one wobbles about so I want to get behind to see whats loose.

Hi Dan,

Use a hair drier to heat the glass, this will soften the adhesive gum that holds the glass on.

Oh blimey, I thought there must be a way of uncliping the whole thing rather than ungluing it :roll:

nope - it's glue Sad

if it's original glue, you should be able to just pry it off wiht your fingers.

when i came to remove my mirrors, it was really easy. if they're on properly or have been re-glued, then yeah, hair dryer. Sad

Oh joy! :roll:

Any idea what could be loose or worn inside to make it flop about?

shows two strut things that attach two sides to the rear of the housing. it's possible that one of these struts has come loose. I take it you don't have full control over the mirror. does it tend to twitch when you move it so far?


Dave.
