Mirror cover replacements

[Amped]

Any ideas on how easy it is to remove the mirror caps? I've just ordered some new ones and wondered how easy it is to change them?

Cheers

Thanks, do you know if the glass just unclips?

It does, i always go from the top, i lean the top out get behind it where you can and do the special pull wiggle and it pops out

I removed mine from the bottom with no problem, just don't use too much force or the glass will break then its another £35!

I have replaced mine but it was a fiddly job. I angled the glass down which made it easier to release the clips, but it was still tricky to use enough force to get the cover off without actualy breaking anything.

motor the mirror up or down, whichever gives you the biggest gap, if its a cold day use a hair dryer or hot air gun to warm up the insides then use a wide piece or perspex or similar to lever the glass off, don't try and release the clips just lever the glass off gently.

Here is a demonstration picture performed by the Blue man group;

Where did you get them from and what sort of cost? There's 2cm clearance either side of my mirrors when I put the van in the garage and the inevitable is going to happen at some point

Vanstyle they do 2 different types real carbon and fake carbon think they start at £25
