Hi Guys,

Anything stupid difficult in this task or is it fairly straight forward?

Cheers

Interior, or exterior?

If interior, it's really easy, I'll post it up when I get home/ off my phone if no one else does

Yeah I meant Door Mirror

Ah, never tried then in that case!

For future use, the interior one is easy. Grab the base where it meets the screen, and rotate 90^o in either direction and it should lift off. You might damage/crack the screen if you're not careful - so be aware. It's the same on my Golf/Polo so I'd assume the Fabia is the same.

Yeah, just remove the piece of trim in the door which has the tweeter in it. Behind this you will see some foam insert (usually) and behind that is a big bolt. Its a big Torx - from memory its a T40 or T45. This ONE bolt holds the mirror on so don't undo it without having someone supporting the mirror. On the vRS fabia there should also be a plug to disconnect the cable. My fabia is a bit more of a pain as you need to remove the doorcard and unplug from the main block of wiring right behind the main door handle.

Easy i will lend you the wife she did a good job of removing my passenger side one

Mint, Cheers fella, so don't even have to take the door card off??

Mmm had a look and you cant get the Tweeter cover off without the door card as its behind the door car...or is there some special trick??

I thought there was - might need to just pull back that corner a bit to allow the tweeter cover to slide off. I think it slides upwards - I don't remember but it kind of slots in there.

I don't believe on the vRS the door card will need to come off, but maybe for practise you could.

just remove the door card, its got 3 torx along the bottom, pop the small arm rest panels off with a screw driver and there are 3 phillips screws behind, take them off, you should be able to pull it off now, remove the tweeter speaker and you should be able to get to the door mirror.

You can unbolt the mirror without removing the door card but as the electrical connector or adjustment cable is behind the card anyhow there is little point.
