One of the most vulnerable parts of the bodywork to scratches, dents, and dings is the outer mirror, due to its position, which is inherently exposed to impacts: perhaps from a close pass to a wall, another vehicle, or even a kid riding a bike too close.

This video clearly illustrates how to remove the mirror shell without needing to go to a body shop, using just a simple flathead screwdriver.

The Mercedes E-Class model used for this tutorial is the W210.
