SlightlyEvil Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm trying to do this, and I know in the vaca pics it says use a flathead to remove those clips (A) but they're frickin TIGHT on mine. I'm afraid to push up on them too hard and break the motor that moves the mirror, or something else. Do you have to push SUPER hard or am I missing some trick with those clips? Unless you've done this first hand save your comments for now, guessing doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 They pull off pretty easy, gently prise up with the screwdriver and they'll come. I took one off for Vince, to see if he could make carbon fibre ones. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Check with psucaptainkickass as he has one for sale and/or has replaced one so he might also have some recent experience with the cap. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlightlyEvil Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 They pull off pretty easy, gently prise up with the screwdriver and they'll come. Prise up on what though? If you move the mirror as far 'up' as it'll go, then pull gently on the bottom edge it actually goes further until it reaches a stop. Then prise up on... just the mirrors bottom edge? I can feel (and sorta see) the clips they refer to in the diagram, but they're too stiff to affect with the head of the driver, so did you just pull on the bottom edge of the mirror? Or did you try put the flathead between the back of the mirror and mounting plate? Subietronic, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I used wd40 on those clips and the clips popped off quite easily. They wouldn't budge before I sprayed them though.
