Installation recommendations
In general, the following applies to this type of part: plastic covers require careful handling in order not to damage their handles or the surrounding lining. The procedure below is general; the exact method of release and deployment depends on the specific design of the car and the cover.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the product numbers, shape, dimensions, color scheme and attachment points with the old piece.
- Inspect the used cover from both sides. In particular, check for cracks, deformations and the condition of fasteners.
- Verify that there is no damage to the counter pieces to which the cover is attached. A new cover alone will not solve the damaged attachment.
- Work in an adequately tempered environment; cold plastic may crack more easily when prying.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Plastic removal pry bar for interior trim.
- Hand tools corresponding to the actual fixing method, if needed.
- A soft cloth, a product suitable for interior plastics and sufficient lighting.
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Stop the vehicle safely, turn off the ignition and ensure convenient access to the work area.
- Inspect the original cover and find out how it is attached. Do not start liking until it is clear where and how the connections can be released.
- Protect the surrounding surfaces with a soft cloth and record the original position and continuity of the individual parts.
- If separate fasteners are present, loosen them with a suitable tool. Loosen any latches gradually with a plastic crowbar.
- Carefully remove the cover. If there is unexpected resistance, stop working and check whether another connection has been secured.
- Inspect the exposed attachment points, remove any debris from the old cover and gently clean the mating surfaces.
- Attach the replacement cover without pushing and verify that its shape and attachment points follow correctly.
- Align the cover into the correct position. If there is wiring in the covered area, make sure that the cover cannot pinch it.
- Fix the cover according to its construction. For latches, push gently near the joint, not forcefully into the center of the plastic surface.
- Check the fit all around, the stability of the attachment and the free movement of the mirror during adjustment.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- The cover must hold without loosening, significant joints or tension in the plastic.
- Check that it does not restrict the mirror setting or the driver’s view.
- If surrounding controls have been tampered with during work, check their operation.
- On a short test drive, watch for any rattling or vibrations. Check and repair the attachment only after a safe stop.
5) The most common assembly mistakes and how to avoid them
- Prying with a metal tool: can damage edges and surrounding surfaces. Use a plastic tool.
- Forcing: there is a risk of breaking the cover or latches. First, align the position and verify the match of the attachment.
- Overlooked counter damage: can cause backlash and noise even after replacing the cover. Check both sides of the joint.
- Clamping of any wiring: before final fixing, check that nothing is lying in the contact surfaces.
Reasons why the part is damaged
For the plastic covers of the interior rear-view mirror, the general causes of damage are mainly:
- Mechanical impact when handling objects in the interior or when working around mirrors.
- Plastic aging and temperature changes which can gradually increase its fragility.
- Incorrect deployment, due to which the cover remains stressed for a long time.
- Inappropriate cleaning with aggressive agents or abrasive tools that can damage the surface.
