Wing mirror repair
Does anyone know how to take these apart ? I've recently brought a secondhand mirror from someone on eBay for £160, changed it on the car, and to find out to my annoyance that the electrical adjustment only works for the up n down angle and not the in and out 😡 I can't take it back to where I brought it ( local to me ) because I didn't do it through eBay (I know silly me) So my theory is to make a good one out of the two. But I can't figure out how to split the cover/housing .
I'm hoping some of you might have some ideas Thanks in advance, Paul |

Pretty sure the rear cover just peels off.
Mine are completely stuffed, they have screws holding the glass in place for some reason (been there since I bought the car) Rob |

Thanks Rob, my plan is to use the adjustment motors/guts out of my old one as it's just the casing is smashed and put them into the new one. I've gotta try and split the casing/cover and take off the mirror lens without cracking it lol

If it were me i'd try and get the part off which holds the mirror on and use a heat gun/hairdryer to heat the glue and peel it off gently
