I have got a new set to go on but I can't for the life of me get the old ones off! I have tried squeezing them together, getting a small screwdriver behind them but nothing! Anyone have and words of wisdom?

Probably a bit hit and miss with breaking them just use a screwdriver to prise it off and hope for the best. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

tilt the mirror fully down. you should see the clips that hold it on at the top. insert screw driver between clip and housing. pull slightly from other side. if i remember right there is 2/3 at the top and a couple at the bottom...its been about 6 years since i had to do it so i may be slightly wrong... ________________________________________ Ph2.5 Nile - Slowly trying to de-East London it and restore to former glory...Built on the 9 Febuary 1999 - Tuesday's car..is full of pace?  Currently looking slightly molested due to some c*nt trying to get into it..  According to the forum Social Worker, because I work in IT, I am socially retarted.. |

get a screw driver under the bottom then get your fingers in and pull it from the bottom edge. |
