Mk7 wing mirror

Postby man le-mans » Sat Mar 17, 2018 5:37 pm

Has anyone found a quick way to remove a wing mirror, I see ford has used which looks like bolts with no heads so I was thinking of cutting the plastic away then a hammer & chisel to undo the bolt

If the mirrors knackered anyway? You might as well burst the plastic off and make it easier :)

Yes that’s what I was thinking. It got smashed when I was parked up outside a customer house the other week

The bolts are shear bolts they have a normal socket head but a thin shaft so when they get tightened up they snap off which makes them look like rivets, sometimes they haven't snapped and you can undo them but other times you think cool but then you snap it off while trying to remove it. Bloody Ford, not fitted on mk7 ones.

Maybe the mk6 was once considered a gentleman's van? :lol:

Yes one bolt had a 8mm nut and the other two was like rivets.
