You mean the rear view mirror yeh? A stubby mirror is something different (it's a smaller driver's side mirror to match the passenger mirror).

The 6N black rear view mirror will fit perfectly, just twist yours anti-clockwise and it'll come off. The other one fits on in the same way.

o right think it's a tidy little mod but just curious you no if i get 1 out of a mk4 polo will it still be sticky enough to just push straight back on my window do you no or have you heard of any problems with them sticking..

seen a couple off pics off windscreens cracked from people pulling them off so building up confidence first lol

Yeh don't stick on with adhesive. There's a twist and lock mechanism on them, and one part of that is stuck to the windscreen. So prodivding your careful you can take it on and off as much as you want.

If your careful and twist the mirror anit-clockwise (mirror stalk included) you will not crack your windscreen. People crack it when they simply just yank on it.
