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 outward 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: In cold weather, gently heat the mirror holder to at least 68 °F (20 °C) before removing it.






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

7. Reconnect the mirror defogger connectors (A).





8. Align the tabs (B) on the mirror holder (C) so they line up on each side of the actuator tabs (D). Carefully push on the mirror holder until it locks into place.

9. Check the operation of the actuator.
