Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum.

I need instructions on how to take off and replace the rear view mirror on my 280 SE. I don't see any fasteners.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim and welcome to the forum!

The mirror is fixed to the stalk and it is the stalk that come aways from the inside roof of the car.

To remove the mirror, grab on to the stalk (not the mirror part!) and pull towards the back of the car so the stalk levers out from its sprung socket. It may take a bit of effort to remove but shouldn't be too difficult.
