How to change VW T5 Wingmirror and Covers Part 2

Tutorial how to change VW Wingmirror glass and cover

[@Victoria-qy9ik]

Thank you SO much! I backed my T6 into my gatepost a few weeks ago and have been putting this job off for ages. Just fixed it all by myself with your guidance, and no chaps around telling me I'm doing it wrong. ;-) . Well done and thank you.

[@youcandoit1828]

Excellent news. That’s exactly why we make the videos. Well done. You can do it 👍

[@benclark1623]

Thank you for this! Ive just changed my entire mirror both sides top and bottom plus the surround trim by carefully removing aerial also ;-) Really helpful!

[@youcandoit1828]

Thanks for the feedback. You can do it. 👍

[@AVanLifeThing]

Glad I found this, just about to attempt the same thing. Also looking for what to do when you've banged the whole unit off the side of the van.

[@youcandoit1828]

As long as nothing on the door is bent that a doable job. You can do it

[@youcandoit1828]

Thanks. You can do it

[@bigboost2641]

[@youcandoit1828]

Thanks for the feeback. You can do it 👍

1.40 you can start prying this up and snap all the retaining clips on the lower bezel.......thanks

[@youcandoit1828]

sometimes its just the was it goes. I bought a new lower one for around 8 euros. As shown in the video most of mine had snapped off due to hit. Good luck. You can do it .

Did you paint the cover

[@youcandoit1828]

No I’ve left it black as I’ve fitted chrome covers to them. Looks really smart. Also chrome covers acts as protection if some hits the wingmirror. If you want to paint the cover best to buy the preprimed cover from VW. Then get it sprayed. 👍

1:54 DAB aerial option - useful to see. Drivers side. Passenger side has FM aerial.

What you doing papa?

Title says removing wing mirror and cover parts .... Only cover parts 🙄

[@Ktalynoo]

Ive gest fking broke my glass

[@rhidiandavies1991]

Holy hell that was a pig of job! Why the hell do they use such brittle plastic for the clips, it makes it virtually impossible to remove the caps without snapping or irreversibly bending a clip. Nightmare. Luckily I accidently bought 2 sets of covers so when one went on incorrectly and snapped I just used the spare.

[@youcandoit1828]

Result 😎 You can do it 👍

The title is misleading because the wing mirror is not replaced. Only the covers are replaced. Boo....update: I found a vid that actually does show you how to replace a wing mirror here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHalhoqnjdSVbZY

[@youcandoit1828]

Paul Y Point taken. It started as replacing the Wing - Mirror, but then I ended up replacing the covers to. You can do it 👍
