Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the door mirror assembly.
2. Warm the area around the mirror holder with a hair drier until the edges of the mirror holder become soft (about 2 or 3 minutes with a 1,000 W drier.)




3. Use a flat tip screwdriver without sharp edges to lift the mirror out of the mirror holder, (Also disconnect the mirror heater connector from the back of mirror.)
4. When installing the mirror, warm the area around the mirror holder with a hair drier until the edges of the mirror holder become soft again (about 2 or 3 minutes with a 1,000 W drier.)
