Re: How to remove drivers side mirror glass
Order from these guys half the price of dealers and the fit is spot on.
Just the glass

Or glass with base plate

To remove the base use the mirror controls to move the mirror as far as it will go towards the window, this should give you enough space if you have small fingers to get them behind the base and give it a good tug it should then come off. Remember to disconect the two wires for the heater element. To put a new one on connect the two wires the correct way and line up the base plate with the bit it clips onto inside the mirror cowling and press till you here it click home.
