Greetings everyone. My first post here so I hope I am in the correct place.
I have recently taken ownership of a 2010 Panda 100HP. Originally fitted with electric door mirrors, the driver side took a hit and has been replaced by the previous owner with a mechanical version as they could not obtain the electric motor version at the time. I have the parts of the original mirror in a box. The mechanical replacement is fitted without the interior trim panel and the control knob attached to the three mechanical adjustment twist cables is protruding in towards the steering wheel leaving a functional but not ideal repair.
Does anyone know how to remove the motor driven internal section that holds the mirror glass from the body of the internal section of the mirror. I am hoping I can replace the mechanical internals with the electric internals. The other option is to replace the whole body of the mirror but that will require releasing the very large spring and post that holds the mirror body on to the pivot where it folds. The original electric mirror has broken at the point where the alloy tube connects to the door bracket.
