Electric Mirror Removal, anyone one know how to?
The passenger side mirror on my C8 fails to fold in. I can only assume someone has hit it in the past hence it no longer retracts. I can still hear the motor trying to pull it in but without success. I've looked around the mirror and can't see any form of screw to remove the mirror to see the problem. Can anyone help on the removal of the mirror unit?

If it is anything like the Xantia or Peugeot Partner, you have to remove the door card to access the colts holding the mirror onto the door. Somebody with better information will come along soon, though.

C5 is three Torx bolts under the plastic corner trim and door card.// don't know on the C8 but I cannot think of many cars where you do not take off trim or door cards and looking at the insides of one, almost certainly.

C5 X7 is door card off. There's no corner section separate.
