    Wing mirror removal

    For info of anyone else undertaking this, with the trim removed and window open you can shut the door and remove the top hinge bolts with a spanner inside held from outside the vehicle... No need for all that propping malarkey

    Pretty good, removed most of the carpets to clean as they were brown, few scuffs on the rear window surrounds and the carpet backs of the middle seats are a mess, going to replace them... Sadly the window tints are scuffed up a bit, going to remove them and see how it looks.
