removing mirror housing-2000 E320
1 Attachment(s)
I'm not familiar how to release the plastic mirror cover from the mirror
framework. on my 99, it was easy as pie: tweak retaining wire as depicted in the MB video. with the 00, they have a slightly different mechanism and the spring retaining wire isn't there/seen/used. don't want to break anything so your experience is appreciated. |
The mirror cover locks on a SPRING (wire). That is at the outer curved area.

tnx Doc for the tip. do I poke straight at it, or is it pressed to the side (to-
wards the plastic...or towards the mirror)? i'll give it a go again. not my car so want to be sure i'm doing it correctly. |

well, turns out the the retaining device was no spring wire at all, like I thought.
So MBDoc, you may want to update your information file. Here is the flat metal spring 'flap' which needs to be depressed to release the mirror cover for face lifted models. I don't know how far this design extends into 211 models. one arrow points to plastic catch molded into the housing. the other arrow identifies the location to depress the metal catch. |
