kutz13 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 My sons Agila (2009) has a broken wing mirror cap. He's bought a replacement but we could do with some advice on how to remove the old one please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Usually they just pull off if you can get your fingernails behind or other use a plastic blade to get behind the cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutz13 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks for the reply. I thought so too but couldn't get it to shift at all! Took the glass out to see if that made it easier but no joy. The replacement has nine points where it attaches so not surprised it's solid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Crikey, may have to damage the cap to remove and the new one should go back nicely if no damage to the housing has occurred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutz13 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Yep, that was the next step! Thought I'd ask the question first though in case there was a trick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kutz13 Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Had to destroy the old one and keep fingers crossed that the replacement would fit, which it did thank god! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Thanks for letting us know the outcome, sometimes brute force and ignorance is the only way forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
