How to remove Wing Mirror Covers, Astra j - tucpal - 16:th-Jan-2015 How to Remove the Wing Mirror Covers on the Astra J and will also Apply to the GTC. It is best to use a Trim Tool for this job take your Time and Do not be heavy handed. Start at the Top of the Wing Mirror take the Trim Tool and push it in between The cover and the Mirror Housing you can use your finger nails to get it started there are Two Clips at the top. Work you way along to the Corner there is one Clip at the Edge. Gently Pull the Cover away from the Housing but not all the way off just yet. Now use the Trim Tool and work on the under side again there are Two Clips. There is one more Clip to undo and this is the Tricky one lift the Cover so you can get the Trim Tool in it is best to fold the Mirror in also this will help and lift the Clip away with the Trim tool. The Clip you are trying to get to looks like this. It is very Possible to snap this one but it will fit back just fine without it. The cover will now be free from the Housing. To Refit the Cover do it in Reverse order. Just be careful and dont rush it is Possible to snap a clip if you are heavy handed so take care.
