Replacement Guide
Typical replacement steps (general guidance):
- Inspect the mirror mounting bracket on the windscreen and any electrical connector behind the mirror.
- If the mirror is secured with a set screw, loosen the screw and slide the mirror unit off the mounting button or bracket. If clipped, gently release the retaining clips using a suitable trim tool.
- Disconnect any electrical connector if fitted. Carefully transfer any rubber gaskets or covers from the old unit if required.
- Fit the new mirror by sliding it onto the bracket or aligning the clips, then secure the set screw or clip. Reconnect electrical connectors and check functionality (heating, auto-dim) if applicable.
- Adjust mirror position for correct rearward view and ensure firm attachment. Replace any damaged mounting pads or adhesive plates on the windscreen before refitting if necessary.
Installation Recommendations
- Work on a stationary vehicle in a safe, dry environment with adequate lighting.
- Use appropriate trim tools to avoid scratching the headliner or mirror housing.
- For electrically equipped mirrors, verify connector type and secure wiring to prevent rattles or pinched cables.
- If the windscreen mounting button is damaged or the adhesive pad shows wear, replace the mounting plate or use a certified adhesive kit to ensure safe reattachment.
- After installation, confirm all mirror functions operate correctly and that the mirror is firmly fixed.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Impact Damage: Hitting the mirror or sudden jolts can crack the glass or break the mounting bracket.
- Bracket Wear Or Corrosion: The mounting button or bracket can become loose over time, causing vibration or detachment.
- Electrical Faults (If Equipped): Wiring connector issues or internal component failure can disable heating or auto-dimming functions.
- Adhesive Failure: If the mirror is mounted on a glued windscreen plate, deteriorated adhesive can cause the bracket to separate from the glass.
