Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for a mechanically operated side mirror, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car. Before assembly, always compare the new and original part, especially the shape of the base, attachment, mounting side and method of mechanical control.

1) Before assembly

• Check if it is the left mirror and if it matches the driver’s side.
• Compare the part numbers 96493821XT and 8153HL to the old part if they are legible.
• Check the condition of the mount, cover, mirror glass and control mechanism.
• Check for damage to the mounting point on the door or the inner cover.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• ordinary set of screwdrivers
• ratchet or keys of the appropriate type
• plastic pry bar for panel removal
• clean rag
• preparations for cleaning contact surfaces, if needed

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and secure it against movement.
2. Remove the window of the door you will be working with for better access and less risk of damage.
3. Dismantle the inner cover in the mirror attachment area, or part of the door trim, if necessary for access.
4. Unscrew the fixing of the original mirror and hold it from the outside with the other hand so that it does not fall.
5. Remove the old mirror and check the condition of the seating surface and fixing points.
6. Clean the seating area from dirt, dust and any remnants of the old seal or deposits.
7. Place the new used mirror in place and verify that the base and mounting holes fit correctly.
8. Install the fasteners and tighten them gradually so that the mirror sits evenly without tension.
9. If it is part of a mechanical control led to the interior, check its correct seating and free movement.
10. Refit the inner cover or door trim.
11. Test the mirror adjustment range and verify that the mechanism works smoothly without stuttering.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Check that the mirror is firmly in place and does not come loose during normal movement.
  • Verify the correct view from the driver’s seat and the possibility of normal position adjustment.
  • For a short drive, observe whether the mirror shakes more than usual and whether it holds the set position.
  • After driving, recheck the fastening and fit of the part.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Swapping left and right side – always verify that it is a driver’s side version before fitting.
  • Not comparing the fit with the old part – compare the base, holes and shape of the part before final seating.
  • Mounting on a dirty contact surface – dirt can cause poor contact and poorer stability of the mirror.
  • Omission to check control mechanism – always test for smooth movement and adjustment before completing assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • mechanical damage during parking or contact with an obstacle
  • impact from a passing vehicle
  • crack or loose mirror glass
  • wear of the mechanical control during long-term use
  • damage to the mount or cover due to vibration and age
  • improper handling during folding or dismantling
