Mirror Holder Replacement

NOTE: Put on gloves to protect your hands.

1. Carefully push on the top edge of the mirror holder (A) by hand.

2. Put a shop towel in the opening between the bottom edge of the mirror holder and the mirror housing (B) to prevent scratches. Insert a flat-tip screwdriver wrapped with protective tape to the guide notches (C) of the mirror holder, and detach the bottom clips (D).






3. Use a heat gun to apply heat to the opening between the mirror holder (A) and the mirror housing. Carefully pull out the bottom edge of the mirror holder to separate the adhesive (B), and then release the side clips (C).
NOTE: Do not heat the plastic parts too much or you may damage them.

4. Separate the mirror holder from the actuator (D) by releasing the hooks (E). If equipped, disconnect the mirror defogger connectors (F).






5. Before reinstalling the mirror holder to the inner holder (A) on the actuator, check the actuator rods (B) and the actuator boots (C). Make sure the actuator rods are securely mounted in the holes, and that the boots properly cover each rod.

6. If equipped, reconnect the mirror defogger connectors.

7. Reattach the hooks of the mirror holder to the actuator, then position the mirror holder on the actuator. Carefully push on the clip portions of the mirror holder until the mirror holder locks into place.

8. Check the actuator operation.
