Mirror Holder Replacement

NOTE:

- Put on gloves protect your hands.
- When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage.

1. Adjust the mirror fully to the inward position.

2. Insert a long thin flat-tip screwdriver in the opening between the bottom edge of the mirror holder (A) and the mirror housing (B). Slide the tip of the screwdriver between the mirror holder and the inner holder (C) of the actuator.





3. Quickly twist the screwdriver to separate the mirror holder from the mirror actuator.

4. Insert the screwdriver further under the mirror holder and twist it again.

NOTE: Do not pry up on the mirror holder to separate the two parts, as this can cause either the mirror glass or actuator to break.

5. Apply heat with a heat gun to the gap between the mirror holder (A) and the mirror housing (B). Carefully pull out the bottom edge of the mirror holder to separate the adhesive (C).

NOTE: Do not heat the plastic parts too much or you may damage them.






6. Separate the mirror holder from the actuator (D) by release the hooks (E). Disconnect the mirror defogger connectors (F) from the heater pad terminals.

7. Before reinstalling the mirror holder to the inner holder (A) on the actuator, check the actuator rods (B) and the actuator boots (C):

NOTE: Make sure each actuator rod is inserted into the actuator securely, and each actuator boot is fully seated on the actuator.





8. Reconnect the mirror defogger connectors.

9. Reattach the hooks of the mirror holder to the actuator, then position the mirror holder on the actuator. Carefully push on the clip portions of the mirror holder until the mirror holder locks into place.

10. Check the actuator operation.
