Wing mirrors

[Skilly73]

I have ordered a new pair of blue tinted wing mirrors for my E85, is it an easy swap over? Any tutorials or tips?

You talking the whole mirror or the glass? If glass I believe they just pop off,unless you have ones to stick on to the receiver? Where did you get them btw? I'm wanting to change mine.

Cheers . I'll take a look now. I can only assume then it's pop off pop on.

They shouldn't just pop off, angle them all the way then there's a bracket you have to move with a small screwdriver to release the glass.

Google to the rescue

Plenty also fall off when the glue melts :wink:

My glass fell out of my mirror casing this week - was just cleaning it but managed to catch it before it broke!

I just used a bit of gorilla glue to stick it back on the casing and it seems to have done the job!

Something to do with the heated mirrors being on permanently.

Think you might find the Gorilla glue solvent might eat through the silver backing on the mirror, keep an eye on that, normally you should use a mirror adhesive
