Removing the cap of the external rear-view mirror on this car model is not complicated, but care must be taken to avoid damaging the press-fit inserts. Start by removing the mirror, which is clipped onto its support.

Rotate the mirror fully outward and then lever at the back to disengage it, disconnecting the wires of the demisting system afterwards. At this point, unscrew the screws securing the cap to its support and proceed with the complete removal by rotating it upwards from the front.
