I was the loser in a wing mirror joust with the White (Transit van) Knight. Need to replace the driver's side mirror and, call me vain, but I would like to reattach the coloured panel, which I retrieved from the scene. But how to remove the (wrong) coloured panel from the replacement (used, salvage)?
From the damaged mirror it seems the case is in two halves and needs to be unscrewed from behind the glass. Is it possible to temporarily remove the glass to access the screws? Or would it be better to simply break off the unwanted coloured panel (though I'd be worried that the clips may be left in the holes, unable to be removed)?
I've read in other threads that the old panel, sans clips, can be glued to the recess in a replacement van mirror but it seems a shame not to try to do it properly if at all possible.
