Wing mirror case fitting

Post by Bennys85 »

Hi, new the forum but thought this would be a good place to start. Unsure how to load photos through a phone, so I'll try and explain. I've got a 2015 Polo, bluemotion and someone has robbed the upper half case off my wing mirror last night, causing no damage. I've ordered a new one (I'll include a link so you know what I'm on about, https://www.undergroundparts.co.uk/prod ... ivers-side), is this easy to fit? Any instructions out there that might be able to help please?

Excellent, thank you. Did think that but just wanted to make sure before I end up breaking it. Probably makes sense how they got it off so easy then.

Just be aware that the clips on some aftermarket door mirror caps aren’t as robust as they are on the OEM version, so take time and care when fitting it.
