Introduction

Replacing the passenger side mirror on a 2009 Ford Ka II

  1. Following an impact on the rearview mirror, a piece of the black plastic part broke, the part not being removable, the complete rearview mirror must be replaced. However, my vehicle is equipped with body-colored mirror shells, so I am recovering my shell to place it on the new mirror.

I would like to know how to remove the cover. I tried to remove it but the piece of white plastic remained in its location in the bodywork and I cannot clip the cover "the white plastic that clips"
