Wing mirror indicators

Peter Stock · 29-01-2007, 23:04

Anybody know how to change the LED indicator in an Octavia wing mirror?

Short of hitting it with a hammer, I cannot see how to get to the indicator.

Thanks in anticipation.

Mirror glass off, cover off the top, and its srewed in from inside, comes as a complete unit.

Take note, you will probably need to get the special tool for this, or else there's a good chance you'll break the glass, and need to replace that.

Somewhat surprised that an LED indicator needs changing, but if it does, then I'd expect the other one to go soon too.

Many thanks for the replies and advice.

Something for the weekend.

Special tool? I just pop them off with a flat blade screw driver, two secs.
