Installation & Replacement Notes
Replacement is suitable for both professional workshops and competent DIYers. General steps: disconnect the vehicle battery before starting; carefully remove the interior door trim or triangular cover to access the mirror mounting; unplug the electrical connector; remove the mounting bolts; fit the replacement mirror, reconnect the electrical plug and test adjustment, folding and heating functions before reassembling the trim. Use appropriate fasteners and torque values for secure mounting. If the original mirror includes switch or memory features, verify connector compatibility prior to installation.
Common Failure Modes
Exterior mirrors commonly fail due to impact damage, wear of the adjustment motor, corrosion in connectors or cables, and mechanical jamming of the folding mechanism. Heating elements can stop working if wiring or connectors deteriorate.
