Door Mirror

[boatdriver]

Some idiot came round a bend in the middle of the road and took out my offside mirror.

 

Does anyone know if there is an idiots, step by step guide as how to take off the remnants of the mirror and fit a new on? It is a power folding and heated mirror.

 

Thanks

If you look for a spare from the breakers, you must find the exact same type of mirror, otherwise to replacement may not work properly. All of them are heated, but here are the variables:

- powerfold feature or not

- memory feature or not (as with the seats)

- dimming feature or not

So, you need to find the matching combination. Easy, right? :D

 

Regarding the step-by-step -guide, see this post on another forum.

I have sourced and fitted a new (Used) mirror, however the glass is cracked.

How easy is it to replace the glass? I have seen somewhere a video of this being done but cannot find on the internet.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It's surprisingly easy to remove, I've done it once. It was some time ago though, so have a read here for the instructions:

Followed the above, and yes it is easy. 

 

Thanks for the link,
