mirrors

Right!

i just worked out why my head was hurting when I drove the car! The mirrors are the wrong way round! Is it possible to swap them over? I don't like having the wide angle on the rhs.

But the wide angle mirror is supposed to be on the drivers mirror, it's to help eliminate the blind spot.

odd.. back in oz we have the normal mirror on the drivers side, and the funky onbe on the pax!

Anyways, are they interchangable?

The glass is yes.

How hard is it to swap over? do you just pry it off like e36? ( or maybe I shouldn't have done it that way.. but that's how it worked on my mums car!

)

There's a small hole on the underside of the mirror, put the end of a small flatblade screwdriver through there, and you have to rotate a small plastic ring which holds the mirror glass to the holder, if you look into the mirror, just under the bottom of the mirror, you should just be able to see the teeth on the plastic ring.

Adjust the mirror to fully up first. I always put the small screwdriver in from here, as you can see what you're doing. Carefull not to damage the paint at the bottom of the mirror housing though.
