How to remove Wing Mirror Covers, Astra j
#1


How to Remove the Wing Mirror Covers
on the Astra J and will also Apply to the GTC.


It is best to use a Trim Tool for this job
take your Time and Do not be heavy handed.

Start at the Top of the Wing Mirror
take the Trim Tool and push it in between
The cover and the Mirror Housing
you can use your finger nails to get it started
there are Two Clips at the top.





Work you way along to the Corner
there is one Clip at the Edge.



Gently Pull the Cover away from the Housing
but not all the way off just yet.



Now use the Trim Tool and work
on the under side again there are Two Clips.



There is one more Clip to undo
and this is the Tricky one
lift the Cover so you can get the Trim Tool in
it is best to fold the Mirror in also this will help
and lift the Clip away with the Trim tool.



The Clip you are trying to get to looks like this.





It is very Possible to snap this one
but it will fit back just fine without it.

The cover will now be free from the Housing.





To Refit the Cover
do it in Reverse order.

Just be careful and dont rush
it is Possible to snap a clip if you are
heavy handed so take care.

just take your time
but as your wing mirror has had a knock
it may already possibly have a few broken clips

Thanks for this, here is a pic of the finished thing. Next is roof and rear bumper insert, unless I can get hold of the styling kit insert.
