Remove mirror glass from wing mirror

Featured Replies

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how I can remove the mirror glass from the SIII wing mirror WITHOUT cracking it. I had a look on ERWIN and it is described as - move the mirror down and leaver from top.

I tried this and it felt as if I was applying quite a bit of force.

Why are you removing it? I only ask as if it's to remove the mirror cap, you can just about do it with the mirror in it's lowest position.

Aside from that, just be gentle when popping it out and hope for the best. I'm currently 1 for 2 on unsmashed mirror glass removal.

I have removed a mirror on a V70 quite a while ago. That came off quite easy by moving it inwards and downwards and then only pulling with fingers. The Superb description is downwards only and then lever out with a wide plastic tool. The plastic tool bends but the glass is not budging. Where did you lever on your 1 for 2 series?

Haha - I meant out of the two mirror's I've removed, one smashed and one didn't!

It should have a little spring clip holding it onto then motor, so you might need to be a bit sharp/deliberate with the trim tool. IIRC I just used my fingers and popped it out.

O.K., I got the glass out intact. I used 2 wide plastic trim removers.

Another one to get out still..
