[s-cars] Re; Outside mirror glass GB

[Tom Green]

Hopefully, now that your package has been delivered, the question is  
OBE,
but, specifically, no, Bentley won't be much help.  Read the below  
while you
inspect the new mirrors.  You need to release the 8 clips on the  
circle without
breaking them or, worse, something on the gimbal ring.  If it won't  
easily come
off, go in the bottom access.  You may have to fold the mirror in to  
get the panel
off, but it will give you clear access to the clips.

My tracking shows all the US deliveries complete, with just some  
international
packages to go.
