Removal
Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
1. Move the mirror housing to the side.
This will provide access to the mounting bolts.
2. Disconnect the multi-pin plug near the mirror mounting support.
Manually adjustable exterior mirrors
3. Remove the door trim.
4. Remove the connecting bolts on the front of the door that secure the outer and inner parts of the door. Loosen the connecting bolts on the back of the door, but do not remove them. This will allow you to remove the drive for the outside mirrors, which is located between the two components of the door.
5. Move the mirror housing to the side and unscrew the mirror mounting bolts.
When installing the mirror, do not mix up the holes for the mirror mounting bolts.
On the driver's door, this is a hole in the front at the bottom and at the top at the back (if two holes). On the passenger door there is an opening at the front, at the top, and at the bottom, at the back.
Replacing mirror glass
The mirror glass itself, regardless of the drive, is clamped in the housing with clamps.
Attention! When removing and replacing the mirror glass, wear gloves to avoid cuts, as the glass may crack.
6. Insert a thin spatula or plastic board into the gap between the glass and the mirror housing and remove the mirror glass from the housing (see illustration). If necessary, press the mirror glass from the top side in a similar manner.
When installing the mirror glass in place, simply place it on the clips and press on it until the clips click into place.
Attention! It is necessary to press on the mirror glass in its center.
Exterior mirrors - adjustment
The manual mirror drive can be adjusted to avoid free play when installing the mirror. A small screwdriver is required for adjustment.
7. Remove the mirror mounting head. Two screws opposite each other 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 the adjustment. Turn screw A1 to the right until you feel resistance when turning the screw.
9. Turn screw A2 to the left until you feel resistance when turning the screw. The same applies to screws B1 and B2 (see illustration).
10. Make sure that the adjustment is made correctly. The mirror should move without much effort, and the idle movement of the mirror installation head should be minimal.
Attention! If the outside mirror vibrates while driving, it is necessary to tighten the mirror adjustment mechanism. Too easy a movement of the mirror adjustment head leads to the fact that the slightest touch knocks the mirror adjustment off. It is recommended to adjust the movement of the mirror adjustment mechanism.
Front and rear glass
Attention! The front and rear windows of the car, as well as the triangular window near the rear pillar, are glued in a special way and represent a structural element that affects its stability. This means that a car enthusiast cannot remove, replace and install the windshield and rear windows on his own without special tools.
