foam sheet for access to the mirror multi-plug.
Disconnect the multi-plug.
3 For all mirrors, support the mirror and
remove the three securing screws. Lift the
mirror off the door, disengaging the base from

refitting
1 Remove the mirror from the windscreen by
"sawing" through the adhesive bond with a
piece of nylon cord.
2 Clean the mirror base and the mounting
area on the windscreen with methylated spirit.
Both items must be perfectly clean, and the
windscreen must be at room temperature
(20°C/68°F approx).

4 Warm the mirror base and patch to 50°
to 70°C (122° to 158°F). Immediately remove
the backing paper from the other side of the
patch and press the mirror firmly onto the
mounting area. Hold it in position for at least
two minutes, and do not attempt to adjust the
mirror for at least half an hour.

attach the mirror to the windscreen: not all are
suitable and some may leave residues which
are difficult to remove.

which is secured by four screws. Pull out the

the facia on both sides. It is clipped in place.
