Mirror Glass Removal

Postby JonJon » Fri 06.06.2014, 18:23

Hi All,

Silly question but, How do you remove the door mirror glass without breaking it, I haven't tried yet, but tugging at the glass seems a bit haphazard, I need to access the motors to check, clean and lubricate them.

Thanks Jon

Wind the top motor all the way out and the side motor all the way in. This will allow you to get you fingers in at the top and with a quick pull towards you the mirror glass and backing plate should pull away from the spider/pivot pins.
