Service Action to Replace the Passenger Outside Mirror Glass.

SITUATION
The passenger side mirror glass of X5s produced from late June through early July 2001 may not have had the retaining ring properly adhered to the mirror glass. This can cause the mirror glass to fall out and dangle from the wiring harness.

PROCEDURE
Note:
If this repair is being performed in very cold weather, allow the vehicle to warm up to room temperature prior to performing the repair. This will ensure that the mirror's plastic retaining clips do not break.
Push the glass of the passenger exterior mirror forward to the stop at the lower edge (mirror tilted down).
Protect the exposed area below the mirror with masking tape to avoid damage to the housing (1).
Push the mirror upward using special tool 00 9 318 (multipurpose wedge) or suitable trim removal tool and remove the mirror.
Disconnect the plug connector(s) at the mirror.
Insert a new mirror glass in the guides and push downward.
Perform a functional check.
