    You can actually tilt that mirror glass all the way down and have access to the clips without having to remove the glass.

      Just saved me a headache thank you! I went with black covers on white GTI. Looks awesome.

      Do you tilt it electronically or manually? I've got Golf GTI MK7.5

      i can see the tab but how do you push it? do you push the clip downwards or straight in?

    Warm the plastic up before you fit the new part, makes it more flexible and less brittle (sit in hot, but not boiling, water)

    Great mod! Looks way better than the stock silver ones! I have black on my "Carbon steel gray" Clubsport + i have black roof. So i dont think itll look better on that design. But for you it looks bang on to that red color also! 👍

      Agree. Silver was a terrible choice by VW. Plain black would have been better.

    good video and well explained..!! - i agree with you that it depends on the colour scheme you're going for.. the carbon and tornado red looks good! :)

    Right side clip popped off easily with a flat screwdriver since it’s too tight for fingers

    These diversion mirror caps are absolute shite to install but look great when they're on😂

    You don’t have to remove all the glass there just clip off a screwdriver does the trick

    I want to do this but I’m too scared of cracking the glass unclipping it.

    • @jamesr50
      @jamesr50  6 років тому

      Steve Hastings I thought the same but the glass actually pops out nice

      jamesr50 just broke the inside clip of the mirror. But I think I can do without. I hope
