Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for replacing a complete electric rearview mirror, the following applies (exact steps may vary depending on the specific car design):

1) Before assembly

• Check that it is the left mirror (driver’s side).
• Compare with the old piece: base shape, mounting, connector/wiring and equipment (folding, heating, electrical control).
• Verify part code 8149WL and EZWD/EZW codes/marks against label/documents.
• Visually check the condition: cracks in the cover, play in the joint, damage to the connector, signs of leakage.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Normal set of screwdrivers and gola/ratchet (according to design)
• Plastic crowbar for removing upholstery/covers
• Contact cleaner (as needed) and cloth
• Insulating tape/tapes to secure cabling (as needed)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery (minimizing the risk of shorting the electrical equipment in the doors).
2. Remove the inner cover/part of the trim near the mirror to access the mount and connector.
3. Disconnect the mirror electrical connector and check that the pins are not oxidized or loose.
4. Loosen the mirror fasteners (nuts/bolts depending on design) and hold the mirror from the outside to prevent it from falling.
5. Remove the original mirror from the door and carefully route the wiring.
6. Clean the seating surface and check the seal/seat for unnecessary leaks.
7. Put on the new (used) mirror, run the wiring and seat it in the correct position.
8. Tighten the fasteners evenly so that the mirror fits well and is not under tension.
9. Connect the electrical connector and ensure that the wiring is not chafed or pinched.
10. Refit the cover/trim.
11. Connect the battery.
12. Check the functions: glass adjustment, electric folding and heating (depending on the car equipment).

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

  • Check the stability of the mirror (no play) and the correct fit to the door.
  • Check that the folding is smooth and the mirror does not “get stuck”.
  • After riding in the rain/washer, check for moisture in the inner cover area.

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

  • Swap sides (left/right): always compare the base shape and orientation with the old part.
  • Mirror not fitting: clean the contact surface and tighten evenly.
  • Forgotten/poorly engaged connector: after connection, pull gently and check that it holds.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical damage (contact with an obstacle, parking collision, broken joint).
  • Folding mechanism wear – backlash, stuttering, non-functioning folding.
  • Electrical control malfunction (damaged door wiring, loose connector).
  • Leaking and corrosion of contacts which will cause loss of functions.
  • Damage to the glass/cover due to vibrations, age of the material or improper handling.
