Removal of Wing Mirror Indicator cover??
« on: October 20, 2011, 06:35:47 pm »
Hi,
I was wondering if any body could point me in the right direction for removing the indicator lense on the wing mirror as I wanted to replace the lense (due to a crack from stone chip)?? I had a little look by folding the mirror and couldnt see any obvious ways for removal.
Cheers.

A bit of an undertaking but there's a guide here somewhere.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yeah it's a PITA. FWIW I found it difficult to prise off the mirror covers as I didn't have anything long, thin and pointy to hand. Thankfully, I had replacement covers read to go on.
