removing door mirror trim

Featured Replies

Would appreciate any advice on removing the door mirror trim please?

From that picture it looks like you just grab the old one and pull it out - removing the actual mirror glass first would make that possible/easier, and to do that, you need to tilt the mirror fully one way and ease the glass out, it is mounted on a plastic holder by the plastic bonded onto the rear of it.

 

That advice comes from common sense and dealing with a later version of VW Group car mirror.

Glass out first makes it easier but take care not to break it! The glass will pop off if you place a plastic prise tool or similar behind it and gently lever. This then levers off those little clips. (Thats why its easier if the glass is out-more space). That part is called a "Bezel". Should cost around £10-£12 from the main dealer. (Often MUCH dearer when obtained elsewhere, surprisingly).

Thank you both for the info.
I ordered one from Ebay last night for £10.99 + £5 shipping.
Should have tried the dealer first but I was being impatient and pessimistic.

Fingers crossed I don't break the glass.

Follow the instructions on the attached file.1368603646_Mirrortrim.thumb.jpg.cded1fc098b71dd2f2c4069ca77fa0ea.jpg
