Hi.
Over night some little dear has smashed my wing mirror and local scrappy doesn't have it in my colour Sapphire Blue/KNY. Wondering if I could take the cover off mine and swap it with the one from the scrappy? If so are there latches etc holding it on or is it just a case of getting a flat headed screwdriver and prising it off gently and gluing it to the new one?
It's for a T reg and a manual wing mirror if that matters.
Regards.

You can replace it for sure,or swap it with the one from scrappy,gently take it off with a flat head screwdriver,and if you are standing behind the mirror (the back of the mirror) push it outwards after using the screwdriver,and if you are standing in the glass side,then pull it toward you,but be careful in both cases.

Thank you for the speedy reply. It's not attached by latches or anything then, just bonded on and it's a case of being gentle?

Do I need to apply pressure to these then to get it off rather than just prise it off? Surely I'll need to keep these unbroken to fix the one I take off back on?
