Post by phiggystardust » Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:16 pm

Phiggy.... you need to apply plenty of (controlled) pressure especially if thay haven't been of before. Also the glass/mirror slides up to take it off :thumbsup:

A great mod this one and one of the first things i did on my latest x after having them on the old one they were a must.I didn't realize that they were an option untill i came to press the button on the new one and it wasn't there :o you'd think on a 50k ish car that these luxuries would be free :)
