Installation Notes
Removal and installation are straightforward for experienced technicians and competent DIYers. Typical steps:
- Carefully release the mirror glass if required: tilt the glass and disengage retaining clips with a plastic trim tool to avoid damage.
- Use a plastic prying tool to gently unclip the damaged cover from the mirror housing; most covers are retained by spring clips.
- Align the replacement cover and press firmly until all clips engage. Verify secure fitment and full mirror adjustment operation.
- Minimal tools are required: plastic trim tool set and, if necessary, a soft cloth to protect painted surfaces.
Causes Of Damage And Maintenance
Mirror covers commonly fail from collision damage (parking knocks, side-swipes), stone chips and long-term UV/paint degradation. Surface scratches such as those on this unit are cosmetic and can be corrected by light sanding and repainting. Replace the cover if structural clips are broken or if internal mirror components are affected.
