Removal Procedure

Warning: Refer to Eye Protection Warning (Eye Protection Warning).


Note: The mirror back is made so that the bottom edge fits into a slot and clip in place. This allow the mirror to rotate.

1. Carefully push the mirror face toward the front of the car and downward on the inner edge, near the front door window glass, to allow access.
2. Grasp the mirror face back and firmly pull it away from the mirror motor and housing.
It will be necessary to use a sharp jerking motion to release it from the housing.
3. Lift the mirror back up and out to release the lower tabs.
4. Disconnect the heated mirror wires, if equipped.

2. Using the palm of your gloved hand, press firmly on the center of the glass until the case seats onto the motor.
The mirror will make a snapping noise when properly seated.
3. Inspect the mirror for proper operation.
