Passenger side folding mirror keeps sticking on our 94wrx, how do you get to it and remove the trim etc as there's no obvious screws, that I can see anyhow.
Any ideas??
Cheers

I had to have a new drivers side one, do decided to try and butcher the old one. I assume you know how to actually remove the mirror itself from the car and the only prob is getting inside once it's off the car?

If you can't get it off the car then I can help on that score. If you look at the inside of the door, where the mirror is, there is a triangle of black plastic, gently prise this off and you'll see mounting screws, undo them. You;ll also need to unpluf the wires for the leccy, which might require removing the door trim.

Once you have the mirror off, the fun really begins! I tried, with little or no sucess to remove the cover of the mirror. I think that you might be able to take the mirror itself off, but I did not fancy smashing it, which to me seemed the only way.

Worst case, do what I did and give Andrew @ Grade A a ring and see if he has any folding mirrors in stock.

hope this has been of some help. If you do managed to get into it, let me know.

Cheers Markus, it's sticking somewhere so I need to have a sticky beak at the workings to see if I can free it up as I'm pretty sure it's not broke.
