I am getting ready to paint my car and have two flag mirrors that I would like to take apart in order to paint. Can they be disassembled and if so how? I see that there are two holes on the bottom of the mirrors and thought those might be access for some screws. Any info would be appreciated.

There are two types of mirror, depending on what year of 911 they came from.
Earlier type the mirror glass is held in by 3 or 4 prongs (can't remember how many) that go into grommets in the plastic base. The glass is removed just by prising it out. Later type the glass is held on by a circular plastic locking ring behind it. This has to be disengaged with a long thin screwdriver for the mirror to be released. (I think this is the one shown in the diagram above). Both types of mirror look the same. Good news is that by deflecting the mirror fully downwards, gives just enough room to see behind & which type you have. Once the glass is out they can be easily disassembled for painting. |
