Power outside mirrors
1. Move the mirror housing to the side.
This will provide access to the mounting bolts.
2. Disconnect the multi-pin plug next to the mirror mounting support.
Exterior mirrors with manual adjustment
3. Remove an upholstery of a door.
4. Turn out on a forward part of a door connecting bolts by which external and internal parts of a door fasten. Only loosen the connecting bolts on the back of the door, but do not turn them out. This will allow you to remove the exterior mirror drive located between both components of the door.
5. Take the mirror housing aside and unscrew the mirror mounting bolts.
When installing the mirror, do not confuse the holes for the mirror mounting bolts.
On the driver's door, this hole is in the front of the bottom and top in the back (if two holes). On the passenger door - a hole in the front of the top and bottom rear.
Mirror glass replacement
The mirror glass itself, regardless of the drive, is clamped in the body with latches.
Attention! When removing and replacing the mirror glass, wear gloves to avoid cuts, because the glass may crack.
6. Insert a thin spatula or plastic board into the gap between the glass and the mirror body and remove the mirror glass from the body (see illustration). If necessary, press the mirror glass from the top side in the same way.
When installing the mirror glass in place, it is enough to put it on the latches and press on it so that the latches snap into place.
Attention! It is necessary to press on the glass of the mirror in its center.
Exterior mirrors - adjustment
The manual mirror drive can be adjusted to avoid free play when installing the mirror. You need a small screwdriver to adjust.
7. Remove the mirror installation head. Two opposite screws are responsible for moving the mirror in one direction (top/bottom, right/left). One screw has a left-hand thread, the other has a right-hand thread.
8. Make adjustments. Turn screw A1 to the right until you feel resistance when turning the screw.
9. Turn screw A2 to the left until resistance is felt when turning the screw. The same applies to screws B1 and B2 (see illustration).
10. Verify that the adjustment is correct. The mirror should move without much effort, and the idle movement of the mirror adjustment head should be minimal.
Attention! If the exterior mirror vibrates while driving, tighten the mirror adjustment mechanism. Too light movement of the mirror adjustment head leads to the fact that at the slightest touch, the mirror adjustment is lost. It is recommended to correct the course of the mirror installation mechanism.
Front and rear glass
Attention! The front and rear windows of the car, as well as the triangular window near the C-pillar, are glued in a special way and are a structural element that affects its stability. This means that a motorist without special tools cannot independently remove, replace and install the windshield and rear window.
