S6 style chrome matte wing mirror housing arrived quickly
Direct replacement without any faffing about and any modifications needed
Simply adjust the mirror to the far inside, pop the glass off, disconnect heating wires (sitting tight and it is difficult to hold the connector on the glass and wiggle the plug the same time).
Unscrew 1xT10 screw holding the motor and housing (circled in red)
and another two with metal spring brackets (circled in blue)
Now the whole housing can be separated from the inside by pulling it whole upwards.
It isn’t easy but hooks from the housing (circled in green) have to be released
Plastic trim removal tools will be handy to pry the base off the mirror housing.
Separate the bottom part from the housing by inserting the flat trim removal tool from the tip end of the mirror. There are two clips (circled in yellow) which will pop out and release the housing.
From inside of the mirror housing, start pressurising black base and lift the whole housing up to separate them two. Some force needed but you should not break anything.
Tip: make sure you adjust the mirror motor to flat middle position. This will allow mirror housing to pass by the motor easier.
Once housing releases, disconnect indicators and replace the housing in reverse order.
Old Plasti dipped vs new oem style
Both fitted
As majority of my work take place during night hours and in underground parking lot, daylight pictures will be to follow.
As usual, chuffed with results anyway
When ordered the mirror housings, I’ve also got amber led strips to work as a backlight for indicators in the mirrors.
Indicators there are sealed units and theres nothing than be fitted inside of them.
Disappointed but might use them elsewhere.
