Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by removing the interior trim to access the mirror mounting. For electrically powered or auto-dimming mirrors, disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid shorts. Remove the retaining screw or slide the mirror off the windshield mounting button, unplug the electrical connector, and carefully remove the old unit. Clean the windshield surface and mounting button if reusing them; fit the new mirror to the bracket or bonding plate, reconnect the wiring harness, then test the auto-dimming and electrical functions before reassembling trim. Use the correct adhesive or mounting kit when bonding to glass and allow proper curing time as specified by the adhesive manufacturer.
Common Failure Modes
Mirrors fail most often after impact (e.g., accidents or knocks), adhesive or mounting plate deterioration, moisture ingress affecting the sensor or electronics, or connector and wiring faults. Over time the dimming sensor or internal electronics can degrade, and glass delamination may occur. When diagnosing, inspect the mounting button, wiring harness, connector pins and relevant fuses to avoid unnecessary replacement.
