Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how i replace the glass bit of a 5 series year 2001
wing mirror. I know this is probably a simple question but it seems
difficult to remove and i need to replace the electrochromatic type of
glass which is very expensive so i do not want to get it wrong.

Unless it's different from other cars it just clips onto the motor
assembly. Try running it full in each direction - you can usually get a
screwdriver behind somewhere to help release the first clip.
