Help needed with door mirror glasses
Hi,

I have to get the "ball"...

I lubricated with silicone oil and oil, I tried forcing the clamping (like picture below) but is imposible Crying think I'll break the glass over tightening. Does anyone know how to do?...without breaking the glass

i don't know if take forcing a screwdriver forcing to open the "hole" for a night will help (as in the picture above)

Thanks

You could try warming up the socket with a hairdryer a bit (lubricate the ball's pins instead of the socket). Plastic gets softer when heated, it might help.

Done! I stopped for a day forcing with a screwdriver forcing to open the socket (as in last picture ), and i was pushing the mirror [u:b1c8e39aaf]doing circles[/u:b1c8e39aaf], entered without much problems

Thanks for your advice Ivan Thumbs up!
