The repeater led's in the drivers door mirror intermittently fail. When I remove the glass and pull the two wires to the lense it works. I want to dismantle the mirror to rectify the fault, but cannot see a way of removing the "shell". The electric adjust mech comes off with three screws but beyond that I've failed. Can anyone tell me how to get the thing apart to get at the led lense section?

Thanks
Keith.

Just fold the mirror, and on the back you will see a square hole on the rear, just depress this silver catch in the hole and it slides off.

If you want a paper on how to,,I need your Email address

D'ya know, I get asked this a lot and can never remember exactly what it looks like... You are most of the way there, but there is a tag that needs to be pushed - I think it is paint colour, or maybe shiny metal - and the shell slides off the end complete with the repeater, then you can release the screw that holds it to the shell.
