How to take off inside door cards

[commiemidget]

Hi All

I recently had the mirrors changed on my Ibiza when it was having a front splitter fitted, but forgot i lost the outside temp sensor, i have a idea how to re-connect it but need to know the steps to remove the door cards and mirror base plates so that i can get to the wires to connect it again before i start mucking arrond with the old mirror to get the sensor off it.

any help would be fantastic.

cheers

usually lift the inside cover off and snip/solder the new sensor in to save taking trim off

BUT

http://www.seatcupra.net/guide_ibizadoortrim.htm is where you will find the way

Hi Flapper

Thanks for the advice, do you know how to take the mirror apart to get to the sensor as dont really want to damage the mirrior as mite need it later on,plus read the guild on how to remove the door trim do you need a special tool as stated or can you use anything really to remove the door trim that is clipped??

ok, btw, u cant take your old mirror apart easily. it will break m,ore then likely, so just smash it up, the sensor is at the bottom. its tiny so dont worry too much about breaking it

Hi Cus

Ok if there is no way to get the sensor out without braking the mirror, i will do that.

Wrong. Taking the mirror out can be done without breaking it!!

Just turn the mirror towards car body (all towards the door), insert your tiny little fingers inside the gap that creates, behind the mirror, gently pull out. It comes off no prob I assure you. Just DON'T use any other thing than your hands (screwdrivers etc.) and don't place your thumb in the center of the mirror (in case you break it anyway, at least you don't get cut!).
Cheers!

Hi Carlo

Thanks for the advice, i got the door panel off no problem lastnite thanks to guild and flapper, will try your method to pull mirrior apart tonite after work, as the mirror is not on the car anymore so should be easier to gethold of.
