My existing mirror appears to have the liquid crystal filling up the lower portion of the glass.
The mirror doesn't seam to work (no surprises there) but hasn't appeared to work since owning the car..
Anyway, I bought a used mirror and want to test it to see it work before swapping.
1.. How do you test the mirror?
Plug it in, wait till dark (or cover the front sensor) and shine a torch at the rear sensor?
Is there a method?
My Max Ellery workshop manual says nothing.
2.. How do you remove & install?
Does the glue bond need to be broken and the replacement reglued?
..or can the mirror be unscrewed or unclipped from it's stalk?
Again.. The workshop manual says nothing..
Any information appreciated.
Also, the replacement I bought is what I call "fair" in it's condition.
Anyone with a nice one that is known to be working, please feel free to contact me via PM.
Thanks.
