Hi there when you put the lever under the mirror do you just put pressure on to pop it out , does it sit in some kind of ball joint or something ? Do you have to place the lever in a certain place ? I just don't want to force it and break the glass , cheers

[WTF]

You kind of need to. We didn't have that tool, so Dad kind of improvised......

Nightmare can't get the glass to go back on just seems to wobble around its not sturdy like it was is there any special way to clip it back in ?

[WTF]

To be honest I can't remember, changed it over 2 years ago.......

Haven't done it on a DS3 but on one of my older cars the mirror needed a bit of brute force to click it back into the holder

I've figured out it looks like the mirror back plate has took half the motor section aswell when I levered it out , super glue needed. I think lol

All sorted now , what a difference chrome mirrors look from the standard black ones , well happy now looks the bollacks
