The interior mirror is held on with 3 screws, yours should be the later type so the screws are covered by a plastic bit which should (hopefully) slide down the arm revealling the screws.

Two minute job
Provided that you don't drop any of the screws down the demister vent

the cover came off ok but it's turning powdery and has a small hole and a broken edge, are these obtainable or is it a case of finding one from a breaker?, my plastic sucker is missing as well, same question.

edit: I couldn't resist it, it may not be the right colour, but its looks lovely.

Excuse the ignorance, but how is it attached to the car? I've got two splitscreens, so mine are bolted to the central split
