Wing Mirror Glass

[SuperRedMR2]

Ive recently purchased some wing mirrors from Oukie in black, and wish to spray them white. How do you remove the glass?

carefully

Just have to be brave and lever them out of the casing.

They're located by a ball and socket in the centre plus a couple of plastic threaded adjusters which will sound like they're stripping but they're not.

Don't bother removing the glass to spray them, just mask it off. They are easy to break when removing (I know from experience) so if you can avoid it do

They are also very easy to break when you put them back in!

Also, you might want to sand them down very well if they're they later mirrors - this will remove that weird texture that the later mirror housings have, and you'll get a better finish (apologies if you already know this)

Hi,

I do have a spare wing mirror at home which has been broken so i will have a go at removing the glass on that one first. but usually with me i do something well the first time then do it badly wrong the second time lol

Yeah, I sprayed the ones on my previous car and they do sounds like you're stripping the threads off when you take them out, but do it slowly a bit at a time and you should be ok.

I got spare glass from ebay for 99p, so it's always worth doing a search.
