mirror

[guest2662]

hi all, anyone know how to separate the mirror housing on the door mirror, i.e glass and indicator lens thanks

[kotarou]

Yes!.

1 - Tilt the mirror all way UP
2 - To remove the mirror pull the bottom part of the mirror from the A Location and you will unlock the D tabs.
3 - For the E tabs just do the same as this picture below, turn 90º up and pull in your direction.

4 - Then you'll have your mirror like this:

5 - There are 5 or 6 plastic tabs to release, I recomend to use plastic tools or chopsticks that won't damage the tabs. Remove carefully.

6 - This is the mirror without the cover.


7 -  The turn indicators are fized with two screws

Tilted mirror all the way up.
Couldn't get my not very big fingers into the gap very easily.
Should the mirror be pulled down toward the ground or out toward the back of the car?
Many thanks,

Gil

There is a gap on the bottom right edge of the mirror (Right) and the same on the left mirror (Botton Left).
This is the A point on the diagram.


Pull the mirror bottom part in your direction, it'll unlock and you can remove the mirror easily from the L shaped clips of the top parts of the mirror.

Thanks Katarou,
Just needed to be brave and give bottom of the mirror a hard pull.
Great diagram by the way.

Regards,

Does this need to be removed to replace the bulb in the mirror unit ?  Thanks.

You do need to be able to access the clips that holds in the lens.  Maybe to avoid breaking the mirror, take it out

[kotarou]

Eddie, Yes.
To reach the Turn Indicators you need to remove the mirror, remove the cover and then you'll have access to the Turn Indicators LED, which has 2 screws holding it.
