- Carefully unplug the mirror electrical connector and remove mounting screws/bolts.
- Remove the old mirror assembly and fit the new unit, aligning the mounting points.
- Tighten mounting bolts to secure the mirror (use appropriate torque values from the manufacturer where available).

- Test all functions: electric adjustment, folding operation and heating. Make final mirror angle adjustments from inside the vehicle.
Recommendations For Mounting
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures. Disconnect the battery prior to removal to prevent short circuits or damage to electrical components. Handle plastic clips and trim pieces carefully to avoid breakage. If the mirror motor or folding mechanism exhibits abnormal noise or resistance, inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion before installation. For reliable long-term operation, ensure door seals and drain channels are clear to prevent water ingress.
