Hi all

Problem number 2 today and only day 2 of ownership.

Mirror glass fell out and after using the guide found on here I can't for the life of me see a plastic bayonet lug to switch across??

Apologies for the shocking photo but can anyone tell if this is what I should be seeing or if it has been bodged before?

Thanks!

What's the issue dude?

The back plate is what gets hot, most people just stick a halfords/ebay glass to the front of that and all is well? Take a few pics from further away. Bit of bad luck there!
 
Ah right. I assumed I had to remove the backing plate to fit the new one as the remains of mine has a layer of foam which I guess was the original adhesive.

This was the guide -

My advice would be to remove the foam best as possible and fit over it mate. I believe that's what every one else does.
 
Iirc, when I did mine the bayonet was accessed from the bottom edge.

Three advantage of taking it off is that you stand a good chance of glueing the heater pad onto the back of the new glass. Whereas sticking a new one on top with foam pads.....
