Manual mirror disassembly question
I noticed how the manual mirrors utilize coaxial metal cables for adjustment, rather than direct leverage of old. I also notice how these cables make the mirror assembly almost impossible to completely take apart (and reassemble).
My question is how take a non power mirror assembly apart without breaking or cutting anything, if at all possible? Thanks. |

What exactly are you trying to take apart? If it is to get the mirror glass off, you tilt the mirror up, get your fingers under the bottom, and pull straight out. Once you unclip the bottom, you lift up on the glass to release the top hooks. At that point you have full access to the internals and to the clips that hold the covers on.

I'm trying to take apart the base and the mechanisms (practically take everything apart). i've removed all screws and T25 Torx (base), but the only thing hindering me from completing the process are the wires for the adjustment. i can't seem to find a way to remove them (without cutting them) and be able to put them back. |

Manual mirror disassembly question
The base have one of those washers to attach the folding mechanism that once pushed in, they cannot be removed without cutting. Not sure why you'd want to take it completely apart.

Oh i see. Thanks. I guess i have no choice then.
I want to take it apart because i want to be able to transfer my current power mirror to it, as the one i bought has been painted clear so its a bit satin-ny in terms of shine. Just the OC in me wanting all the black parts to match 100%. |
