Any tips on how to replace the wing mirrors? Even the LR techs managed to break it when they tried to fit a replacement. New one on the way but it would be nice not to have to go back again.

Thanks,

No idea but judging from you post I would say "carefully"  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I had cause to replace mine on both sides at points during my ownership. I tried first and broke the glass, went back to the dealer to get another one and the tech went through a further two glasses before managing to fit it successfully (took the wise advice of the parts monkey to have someone fit it for me, good job I did). Second time, didn't bother attempting it and got a tech to come out directly to do it for me and he was successful after only breaking one glass. When I told him that he'd done it with less breakages than the other guy, he mumbled something about the fact there's no actual method.... you just have to try it and see if it will catch on the retaining clips.

So....when your replacement arrives, get in the car and take it back to your service dept for them to do. They obviously won't charge you when they break it trying to get it fitted.

I think the actual wing mirror assembly costs about £90 from your local neighbourhood stealers, so start saving your pennies just incase. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.
