Guest noggy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I was parked in meadowhell carpark lastnight, and after i had returned from a shopping trip with my girlfriend (i was forced ) my wing mirror has been smashed!! Ive not had a proper look yet, but how do you change the glass? pull the old pieces out and use fairy liquid to slip the new one in? Advise and tips appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 You can either remove the plastic seal all the way round the mirror head by more or less pealing the seal from around the head itself(there is a lip that holds the "seal" in place all the way round the mirror head) or you can undo the Allen headed bolt on the base of the head where it meets the arm that holds it on to the door hinge and replace the head complete-a new piece of glass is a couple of £'s then again if you can find a complete second hand head do it that way HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 peel of the retianer/seal, dump it in hot water ready for refit, this help soften it & make it more pliable. change the glass, dry the seal & refit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping jack Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Then find that the replacement glass you've bought doesn't fit the mirror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
