    It explains it in the Bentley Manual.

    Are there still people on here without one?

        Put a small screwdriver in through the hole below the mirror and rotate the locking cam on the back of the mirror glass. Glass will then fall out.

              thanks, I have the haynes manual but I really didnt expect it to be in there considering eveything I need to find is almost neve there or isnt explained that well.

              thanks though, gonna go respray them now!

                there's a reason nearly all of us have a bentley. it seriously covers everything you need to know.
                I retired my E30 for now...

                      Unless you have a M42, but hell, I have one. It's extremely useful.
