kutz13 Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 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
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Usually they just pull off if you can get your fingernails behind or other use a plastic blade to get behind the cover Quote
kutz13 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Posted February 15, 2023 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
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 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
kutz13 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Posted February 15, 2023 Yep, that was the next step! Thought I'd ask the question first though in case there was a trick to it. Quote
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 How did you get on with removing the mirror cap? Quote
kutz13 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Posted March 10, 2023 Had to destroy the old one and keep fingers crossed that the replacement would fit, which it did thank god! 1 Quote
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Thanks for letting us know the outcome, sometimes brute force and ignorance is the only way forwards  Quote
