wing mirror

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

it needs a ferm blow inwards. the clips do'nt go easy. It helps to grease the clips. Look if there is nothing in front of the clips, and the alloy hinges in it aren't broken. ( :badmood: had to use some predrilled parkerscrew to refit mine, since the original alloy hinge system in side the mirror were cracked....)
luck,

This also mattered to me. If it wont clips in, you have to put some grease onto that two knobs, and it goes to its place much more easier!
