Just fold the mirror, and on the end you will see a square hule on the outer edge center. depress the catch in the hole by pressing with a suitable object, and the cover slides off

You remove the glass by pressing in at bottom, unhook spring along top and lift glass out

If you pop up your email address for a few mins, you can go back and delete it when I say , I will send you the paper on how to do it.

Paper sent go back to your post and by using "edit" you can remove the address,, you only have an hour to do this.

Thanks, i'm not sure mine looks like this, I'll post up a photo of my mirror folded.

Left my camera at home . My mirror swivels on the mount and has a sealed end with no holes. My E class is a 2008 model. Any ideas?

does it look like this??

 

[RICHARD COOK]

No, the end is body coloured and is part of the actual mirror. The whole mirror swivels in rather than folding.

Remove the glass, then round the inside of the frame there a few torx 20s, remove these and then wiggle the case of, looks a real crap job!

Then to me this looks as thought the glass has to be removed and it has a screwed together case, like we had on the 129 etc

Will print it off and post in a mo Malc, some great e,mail exchanges this morning young man!!

Good man, this is off the CLS, cant find facelift 211 but there almost the same mirror!

 

[RICHARD COOK]

I assume the process for removing the lense is still the same? Press the bottom of the mirror and unclip the top?
