Getting trim re chromed on a 9
Hello all,
My car is going to be in the paint shop for the next month and 1/2 to 2 months, and I was thinking about having the chrome trim re chromed while its all out of the car...,I would like everything redone, but I can't figure out how to:
1-take the inside of the rearview mirrors out
2-get the door handles done since they are attached to other parts
3-the chrome strip on the grill that's attached to the plastic
I am assuming that in order to get those pieces redone I have to just take the chrome parts without any attached parts, or can they redo them with plastic and electric parts attached?
Any advise from someone who has had this done would be appreciated .
Thanks !!

Dear Spikpaga, I'm going to upload some pictures to help you understand what I describe as how to dismantle the side view mirrors on the xjs. With power applied, you need to angle the mirror down to access the top screw (philips) using a THIN screwdriver, take it out. You'll then be able to acces the back of the mirror better. You can see by the pics, you can carefully pry the ***** from the motor out of their sockets. DON'T bend the mirror at all or CRACK! It's not so easy to snap those ***** back in but with perseverance it's possible .then put te screw back in and done. Bud
