Technical Replacing Ducato wing mirror cover

[MartynWilson99]

Hello. I am a newbie here, English but living in France. I have a motorhome, new 2014, on a Ducator Multijet 130 carrier. The wing mirrors are on long arms and on a recent trip to the UK, someone hit the right-hand mirror, cracking the cover on the back. The mirrors, electrics and indicators are all fine.

I bought a new cover on ebay, but don't know how to fit it. Do I need to remove the mirrors to access any screws or clips? Alternatively, is there anywhere to download a workshop manual?

All advice/information gratefully received. Thanks a lot.

You need to remove the mirror glass to access the screws ,some great videos on utube

Just done this job
Like so many things these days, the mirror glass is held in by hidden plastic clips you have to brute force pull apart and hope nothing breaks
Get a flat strip of metal with a 90 degree bend in it to hook behind the mirror glasses to pull them out.
The glass is tougher than it looks and is reinforced by a plastic frame backing.
I'm surprised by the amount of force I had to use and that I haven't broken one yet.
You would have to do this to change the indicator bulb anyway.
With the mirror glasses out you can see the screws you need to remove to release the mirror cover and indicator lens.
I find the cheap mirror covers (thats the rear half of the mirror casings - the part that gets broken) off ebay are not a perfect fit but they do the job and look ok

With respect to the above, the screws for the mirror indicator unit are accessible by adjusting the mirror glass to its extreme position and carefully pushing it slightly further to insert a screwdriver. No need to remove the glass to replace the bulb (I can vouch for it)
