How to remove interior mirror in front cab

[missfixit70]

Hi its me again. Does anyone know if you can take of this mirror from its holder which is glued to windsc reen?????? Our mirror is discoloured around the edges and i have just found one on ebay but thought i would get advise here first......dont want to crack the windscreen in the process lol

Yes you can, it slides up leaving the screen mount in place, but it's held in situ by a spring clip, you'll see a small cutout/hole on the bottom of the mount just off centre, stick a small bladed screwdriver or stiff coathanger type wire ot similar up the hole & you'll feel it encounter resistance, a bit more pressure & you'll feel it move the spring, then the mirror should slide up the mount & off.
I've just learnt something new (2 things with the vanity mirror )

For some reason I have to take him everywhere with me, and I have to take him home again . Hopefully your mirror will be sorted by then.

I do hope so

So know you know how to remove the mirror.. (Cheers Kirsty!) Thas been bugging me too...
Why not try & save some eBay cash & see if you can clean the discoloration on the mirror.. Then bring the casing up like new with some back to black? It worked a treat on my ashtray!!

Thanks for the tip....removed the old naff one and now have a mirror we can see out of.
Well done.couldnt have done it without your pics!

No worries, I'd thought it must come off somehow, but had never really needed it to, so hadn't looked to hard, always good to learn something new
