Exterior mirror and associated components - removal and refitting
Mirror assembly
1 Unclip the exterior mirror inner trim panel from the door, on manually-adjusted mirrors detach the knob from the adjustment lever (see illustration).
2 Disconnect the wiring connector from the speaker in the trim panel (see illustration).
3 On electrically-operated mirrors, disconnect the wiring connector to the mirror assembly.
4 Undo the three retaining bolts, and remove the mirror assembly from the outside of the door (see illustrations).
5 Refitting is a reverse of the removal procedure.
Mirror glass
6 While pressing against the top face of the mirror, insert a wide plastic or wooden wedge between the lower edge of the mirror glass and mirror housing, and carefully prise the glass from its balljoints (see illustrations).
Take great care when removing the glass; do not use excessive force, as the glass is easily broken (use a rag or wear thick gloves, particularly if removing an already-broken mirror).
7 Remove the glass from the mirror. Where applicable, disconnect the wiring connector from the mirror heating element as it become accessible.
8 When refitting, carefully clip the glass back into position, ensuring that it is correctly located on each of its balljoints (see illustration).
