Only my second post - so apologies if this has been discussed before - How can I remove the driver door trim on my 1999 Galaxy without wrecking the trim/wiring etc.? I've noticed a post elsewhere on this forum on how to remove the trim on a Mk2 , but this doesn't look as though it's the same as a Mk1 (maybe it is - can someone confirm?)

 

Alternatively - I'm trying to replace the driver wingmirror, is it possible to do this without removing the trim? I thought about splicing the wires from my new mirror to those leading inside the door - but they are coloured differently!

 

OLD WIRES COMING FROM INSIDE DOOR (PREVIOUSLY CONNECTED TO OLD MIRROR)

RED/BLACK

BLUE/BLACK

BROWN/YELLOW

 

WIRE TRAILING FROM NEW MIRROR

RED/BLACK

BLUE/BLACK

BROWN

WHITE

WHITE

 

The mirror was ordered from a spares centre and is the correct mirror for my model of car, does anyone know the corresponding wire colours?

 

Thanks for any help

That's what I'm unsure about. I've had a go at removing the trim based on the info in the faq, but it seems to be very reluctant to come off (especially the bit about pulling out the handle)...

If it is like the MKII..it is just clipped on..if you mean the bit you hold onto..i levered mine off with a blunt knife or you can use a flat head screw driver.

It's probably my misunderstanding, but there seems to be a step missing between step 1 and step 2 on the faq - the door lever appears to have been removed in step 2 - how is this done?

 

(Also, I've still not had any confirmation that the process is the same for a Mk1 and a Mk2 - but thanks for all the replies :unsure: )

For clarification - I've just gone out and compared my car's trim with the pictures in the faq. It's not the same. I've a 1999 Galaxy, am I right in thinking that it's a Mk1?

The black plastic trim around the handle requires gently prising out with a flat blade ( screwdriver or knife ).

 

This gives access to a large screw holding the coloured trim on, remove this screw and gently prise out the trim.
