Steps
Remove the interior mirror cover
Protect the door trim with a cloth and gently release the corner cover beside the mirror. Disconnect the mirror harness if equipped and move it clear of the mounting studs.
Remove the old mirror
Support the mirror from outside the vehicle while removing its two mounting nuts. Unplug the wiring connector, remove the gasket, and guide the mirror off the door.
Install the replacement mirror
Position the gasket and feed the mirror harness through the door opening. Seat the mirror on its studs, start both nuts by hand, tighten evenly to specification, and reconnect the electrical plug.
Refit the cover and test
Route the wiring without pinching it, then press the interior cover into its clips. Test mirror adjustment and confirm the mirror is secure before driving.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
