Mirror Holder

Mirror Holder Replacement




1. Pry the mirror holder (A) out from the bottom until you can see the pivot (B) of the actuator, then detach the pivot using a flat-tip screwdriver wrapped with a shop towel. Take care not to scratch the mirror (C).




2. Pull out the actuator shafts (A), release the hooks (B) from the actuator (C), and remove the mirror holder (D). Disconnect the mirror defogger terminals (E).




3. Remove the actuator shafts (A) and rubber boots (B) from the old mirror holder (C). Check the actuator shaft and rubber boot for damage or deterioration, and replace them if necessary.




4. Install the holder in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Before installing the mirror holder, install the actuator shafts and boots on the mirror holder.
- Make sure the mirror defogger terminals are plugged in properly.
- Grease the pivot (A), actuator shafts (B), and mirror position sensor pins (C).
- Reattach the mirror holder (D) to the pivot (A) and actuator shafts (B) to the actuator, then carefully push on the pivot and actuator shaft portions of the holder until it locks into place.
- To ease installation of the mirror holder, it may be necessary to heat the pivot and actuator shaft joint portions of the mirror holder.
- Make sure the actuator shaft boots are installed into the actuator. If necessary, use a small screwdriver to reinstall them. Take care not to scratch the mirror.
- Check the operation of the actuator.
