I've been having problems with my driver's door mirror - the glass was replaced by the previous owner but each time I close the door it drops down slightly which means I have to open the window and readjust it manually. The servos do their bit and move it around a bit but I believe something is loose so I want to get behind the glass to have a look.

The question is - how do you remove the glass? Is it a question of it being held in by clips so just (gently) forcing it out, or is there some locking mechanism to release (my old Chimaera had a little tab under the glass that had to be moved)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just in case I (or someone else) break it, what did you use for your replacement - is it a special TVR part or (as was the case on the Chim) did TVR use another manufacturer such as Renault.

The mirrors are from a VW Corrado. You can buy on ebay (I believe), but in the main, they do not come complete with the heating element. A couple of folks on here have removed the heating 'pad' using a hot air gun and gently prizing off from the original mirror, then attaching to new glass using a contact adhesive.

The glass just does 'pop' out.

Ease out gently using a broad bladed screwdriver padded to protect paint.

You can get them with heating elements (I did)

When replacing push firmly until it clicks into place
