Hi
No that is how thay usually look..
the padding isn't everywhere... lol
the mirror just turns upwards to un clip from the hole..
maybe from either side..
just turn the main mirror stem... so the mirror goes upwards..
the visor bits also just unclip.. by turning..
with the hole upwards from memory..
the clip on the right should just pull out now..
hope that helps.. if not I will post pics of the bits..

Hi Kent.
I saw your post and quite literally walked up to my 1970 wrecking fastback and came back with the mirror 2 minutes later. This is after I had
previously given up in the past also. In my case the mirror definately does NOT twist around for removal. I can't post a pic since I don't own a
camera or camera phone but on the back of the mirror is the following... (1) A large central (narrow) metal male piece running in an up-and-down axis
but lipped top and bottom to catch on the inside of the roof and (2) two small conical metal nipples spaced one on each side of that.
Each of these three go into holes in the roof metal. This means that it is absolutely impossible to twist it at all. It looks like this on the
back....
o [] o
However if you waggle it mostly left and right (but also up and down) by hand with a fair bit of force I think it will come out as mine did. You are
trying to work each of those three pieces out of their holes simultaneously and you can hear as each one loosens. It turns out I just wasn't being
forceful enough to start.
Hope that helps.
ps If you know how to remove the internal courtesy light without damaging it can you tell me please?

Sorry Kent.
In my excitement at thinking I finally knew what I was talking about, I'd imagined that you owned a type 3. Then I went back to admire how clever
I'd been, and realised that you have a beetle in your avatar. Oops.
Maybe your mirror is different to mine after all......
My apologies if I have given you a dud steer there.
Regards
