In this video, see how to replace the glass on the external mirror of the Skoda Octavia: first, tilt the glass/mirror as much as possible to remove it from the plastic housing; carefully release it from its support using a plastic spatula to avoid scratching the bodywork.

Remove the glass, disconnecting the electrical connector as well, and take the opportunity to treat the connectors with a suitable product.

You can find the new mirror, for example, on Amazon with code B00HQFUJTY for £10.19, with free delivery for Prime customers. Now reconnect the connectors to the mirror, and gently press the glass/mirror back into its housing: a firm but careful pressure will secure it in place.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

Removing stickers or tags from your car's glass without damaging the windscreen has always been a problem. Especially if we attach it - as we should - at the top of the windscreen, where the "black dots" are, which is the unshielded part of the windscreen designed for this type of device, whether it be a toll tag, GoPro, cameras, or otherwise. We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces. You can find it on the ATG website or on Amazon.
