nellyscossy Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 depends if you need to save the mirror, if not just break the plastic and chisel the bolts out if you need the mirror in one piece then you need to drill the bolt heads i changed mine by chiseling came of easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
