bodgerd Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 Just bought a 59 plate Galaxy Ghia and noticed the cover on the passengers side wing mirror is not clipped-on correctly and is sitting slightly higher than it should. Anyone know how are these removed and re-seated please? Thanks. Quote
workharder Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Just bought a 59 plate Galaxy Ghia and noticed the cover on the passengers side wing mirror is not clipped-on correctly and is sitting slightly higher than it should. Anyone know how are these removed and re-seated please? Thanks. I've just removed and replaced an S-Max mirror which had Galaxy on the label. The external colour-coded cover is removed by poking a smallish screwdriver into the space above the mirror glass and pushing down two tabs so that they clear the clips moulded into the mirror cover. The cover clips are handily designed with a slot to aim for and that gives you the leverage. A torch may be helpful. Edited January 20, 2011 by workharder Quote
james82 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hi, I have searched the site and found a lot of helpful info but I cannot find the answer to my question. I need to replace the wing / door mirror on a 2007 galaxy, heated and electric. The part I need to replace is the black part that surrounds the mirror that the colour coded part clips to, it has cracked. Can I just replace this part? (the part that attaches to the door is ok as is the coloured part and the mirror glass) If so how can it be removed???Also does anybody happen to know where I can get said part, I have looked on ebay but everyone seems to sell the whole unit. Many thanks in advance.James Quote

Many thanks in advance.James I don't know if that PLASTIC MOULDING? is listed separately. The mirror can be pulled out of it's snap-in holders using two domestic eating forks: Insert the tines behind each end of the glass and lever the glass towards you while holdimg the glass against the forks with your thumbs. Once you can see into the moulding all will become clear regarding its removal assuming you have a degree of screwdriver awareness. I cant recall if the screws you are going to remove are pozi or torx so have a set ready. Quote
james82 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hi, Thanks for that. If I should have to change the whole unit, can it be removed from the part where it pivots. If so how easy is this to do. Sorry for all the questions. James Quote
