Outer Mirror: Replacement

  1. Remove the door mirror assembly. Refer to REMOVAL  , Outer Mirror Assembly.
  2. Warm the area around the mirror holder with a hair drier until the edges of the mirror holder become soft (about 2 or 3 minutes with a 1,000 W drier.)
  3. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver without sharp edges to lift the mirror out of the mirror holder. (Also remove the connector from the back of mirrors with heaters.)
