    Removing exterior mirror covers

    I need to paint the coloured mirror covers on a Mk3 and can't work out how to remove the painted mirror covers. They look like they clip off but I don't want to force them. I'd rather remove them rather than just mask.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    cheers...doc

      They do come out with force, I end up breaking one side and could never get the other side back in correctly.
      I say mask them its much easyer lol.

        Thanks for the info. Sounds like a large possibility of breakage. I think I'll just mask them. Better to put the cash into something I need rather than something I broke.

        cheers

          Ahhh... the money I have spent on things I have "fixed"...

          If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
