BlobEye Door mirror covers-removal
Does anyone have a heads up on how to remove the outer door mirror covers on a blobeye i.e. the colour coded part?
Searching on here hasn't given much, nor has youtube.
Any pointers greatfully received.

SORTED!
To help anyone else looking to do the same removal, there are x3 hidden clips that need to be released.
These are located on the inside of the cover, so to get to them, angle the mirror glass on full lock on each side, this gives you just enough room to poke a screw driver and release each clip.
Then slowly and glentley pull the cover off, there are x4 more tiny plastic hooks, some may break some wont, but they aren't the major clips, so dont worry.
Hope thats of some help to you, this info wasn't about when I was looking for it

I've got some pics of the covers off, to see the clips and what your dealing with, i'll post them up ASAP.
The x4 tiny clips are located at the bottom of the cover, also had a small piece of sticky tape at the top, so once all clips release if it don't come off its the tape holding it on.....I did re-new the tape and added more just for piece of mind.
Glade this has helped someone.
Right pic time:-
Red circled areas are the 3 main clips, and is the top one I found held the strongest, and is the one to un-clip first.
The green circled areas are the 4 small clips, lucky if you get the cover off without snapping one off, but like I said they are not the main clips, so dont worry
Un-clip this one first
Top of mirror you can see the sticky tape, although still useable I added more just for the sake of it
