EK Moulds + Mirrors + Door handles - How do I remove them ?

[tiksie]

Hey guys, just want to colour code my mirrors/moulds on doors and moulds on front/rear bar and door handles.

Just wondering is it like the EG ? Just pop the moulds off with a flat head ? I don't want to snap them.

How do I remove the mirror glass from the housing ? Assuming it should be easy since there is no motor in it (CXi).

Cheers fellas


UPDATE: MOULDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED WITH 2 FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVERS, PREETY SELF EXPLANITORY.

Def. a bitch to remove on the EG! I left them on when I resprayed my red one lol, too much of a head ****.

EK's are easy. Remove trim, then 2 10mm bolts need to be removed. Then carefully twist the handle frame till it pops towards the outside of the door skin. This is the hardest part. Take care and you'll get the hang of it. Once its on the outside, just lift the whole frame and start unscrewing it from the rod that its connected to.
All done.
Trims should be removed after the trim is off as you can snap them. Theres also a nut at one end.
Mirrors pop off the trim plastic on the inside, then its just 3 screws and they fall off.

Oscar, how do you remove the mirror glass from the housing ? I can remove the mirror but I don't have experience with removing the glass and I don't want to snap it off the housing lol, I'm assuming it just pops off like most manual mirrors ?

Cheers for the detailed description, +rep for you.

Sorry mate, that I don't know. But yeah, I would assume that you just pop it off with pressure.
