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 :oops: ) :lol:

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... :roll:
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!! :wink:

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 :wink:

You must have moved or deleted your photos in photobucket, they have to stay where they are or the link dies.
