Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact method of disassembly and assembly may vary depending on the specific design of the car and the attachment of the mirror. It is therefore advisable to carefully compare the original and the new part before the replacement itself.

1) Before assembly

• Check that the used interior rearview mirror has the same attachment as the original piece.
• Compare the shape of the mirror body, the foot, the method of mounting on the holder and the possible electrical connection of the dimming function.
• Check the condition of the glass, the cover and the connector, whether they are cracked, loose or otherwise damaged.
• Before installation, clean the surrounding area of the attachment and check whether the glass holder or connected wiring is not damaged.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Clean cloth or tea towel
• Preparation for gentle cleaning of contact surfaces
• Work gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and secure it against movement.
2. If the mirror is equipped with an electric dimming function, it is generally recommended to disconnect the vehicle’s power supply prior to work according to normal service practice.
3. Carefully remove any plastic caps or covering around the mirror.
4. Unplug the electrical connector if the mirror is equipped with one.
5. Release the original mirror from the holder in a manner appropriate for the given type of attachment, always without excessive force.
6. Check the condition of the mounting surface and the holder, remove dirt if necessary.
7. Compare the old and new part side-by-side, especially the mount, the angle of the foot and the connector.
