Replacing the Rear Vision Mirror?
Hi There,
Has anyone replaced the rear vision mirror housing only? My mirror (1994 993 C2 6spd) is showing signs of age (silver backing is starting to lift giving a dark patch around the edge).
Instead of going to the trouble of having to remove and re glue an entire new unit (alot of work and mess) I was hoping to simply remove the mirror housing from the ball joint it is attached to that mounts on the windo and replace with a new unit.
Has anyone done this - or accidently removed the mirror from the ball joint? I want to know of the mirror "snaps off" without damage and if it can the "snap" back on?
Help would be much appreciated before I buggar things up!
Cheers
