Re: Potential new 406
Got myself a brand new 807 mirror (part 8149CQ) off ebay for £20
Now, part 8149G8 is the one from my early coupe and part 8149CX is a later part, the only difference being "blue non-inset connector" and "blue inset connector" so I'm hoping I should just be able to rip the existing mirror off and switch the connector and mount over. Fingers crossed eh

Re: Potential new 406
Do you know how to remove the mirror? I watched the windscreen man do mine and it was kinda turn 90 deg's and pull down? looked easy anyway.

Re: Potential new 406
Apparently you just slide it down the front of the windscreen... or something...
I've got a big hammer and a roll of duct tape. I'll be alright
