Hiya. Does anyone know how to remove the wing mirror cover? I have heard you need to remove the glass first! Help please!
Thanks

Glass first yes, you have to wedge it out, it can shatter if you're not careful. The rest is then obvious once the glass is out.

You do not have to take out the glass at all. I have changed mine for black ones. Get a plastic tool and just pry between the black part and the painted cover. Start at the point longest from the door. It´s very easy in fact. takes 20 seconds to remove.

Ørjan.
