   It should just slide up and off the screen holder. If you want to remove the bit that attaches to the screen as well get a cheese cutter and slide the wire behind it. Is should cut through the gunk holding it on

   Sounds easy-many thanks.
   The mirror casing for some unknown reason is cracked so want to replace it...wonder if they are a 'universal' fit -might take the opportunity to see if there is an upgrade!

   Peugeot 106/306/406 ones should fit it I'd say.
