Re: [MBZ] mirror glass removal
yes, the glass just pops right out. Pry it out from the outer edge. 2 second job. Jerry Herrman wrote: The glass is broken on the driver side mirror on my 82 240D (123 body style). I have been told that I can replace the glass mirror without removing the mirror housing. Is this true? Has anyone actually done this who can tell me how to remove the broken glass mirror and replace it with one removed from another mirror housing ?

Re: [MBZ] mirror glass removal
I have been told that I can replace the glass mirror without removing the mirror housing. Absolutely. The job is either trivial or merely easy, depending on whether or not you have heated mirrors. (I think.) Some glass, the heated kind I thought, is retained by a circular metal spring clip you release by folding the mirror head back against the car and poking around through the open hinge. The non-heated kind just pries out. If you try to pry out one that's clip-retained you'll break the glass. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] mirror glass removal
Seems like we just discussed this - The old glass will come out using a wooden stick to pry it out - like a paint stir stick. The mirror is held in by a ball socket arrangement. If you get the replacement mirror it will be obvious how the old comes out and the new goes in. Check with Rusty at http://www.buymbparts.com/ for the replacement mirror - IIRC they're not very expensive and you'll be getting a new one as opposed to a used one that may have damaged also. \ Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . - Original Message - From: Jerry Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 11:14 AM Subject: [MBZ] mirror glass removal The glass is broken on the driver side mirror on my 82 240D (123 body style).
