Does anyone have a how-to for removing the covers from the pre-ford mirrors? I've got some Lantis pre-ford mirrors laying around, but in sparkle green, and want them painted in red, but offcourse in the correct way, not just some tape masking.

Cheers

3 screws where mirror is folded are clear I guess..
Then remove glass, underneath are 3 screws I guess, and one on the very edge where it is folded!
But works on electric ones only I think!

Do you have pictures of this way mate?

And how can I safely remove the mirror glass?

Anyone?

Mate can you wait until this weekend, I will ask the technician guy who been removed this cover.

I got a spare mirror will take a picture and send to you. I remember you need to lift the mirror up then it will un lock but wait for the picture is better.

Ok mate, I've got all the patience., allready news about the wind deflectors?

Cheers

Pics coming tomorow, Internet was cut off this week, sorry

1. The method to de-assembly Pre-ford wing mirror is to remove mirror first. See the plastic locking from rear you need to removed mirror from bottom by press your finger to the mirror on top part to get a certain gap then insert your finger at bottom to un tight the plastic clip.

From what I understand power folding wing and non power folding wing are using the same case and we can switch them. My picture is non power folding wing.

No way I could have done it better!!!

Should probably be put in GUIDES section also...

@ Tarkoon, thank you very much, this is a guides section worthy.

Sticked.
Thanks Tarkoon, nice one mate.

Can confirm that the preford covers are the same for both power folding and non power folding and can be swapped between the two
