Installation recommendations
The following procedure is general guidance for electrically adjustable, power-folding and heated exterior mirrors. The exact method for accessing the mounts, removing the trim and disconnecting the electrical system depends on the specific vehicle version. Follow the manufacturer’s service procedure.
1) Before installation
- Compare the product numbers, left-hand side, base shape, mounting points and range of electrical functions with the old part.
- Check the connector shape, pin configuration and condition of the wiring. A matching cover appearance alone is not sufficient to identify the correct version.
- Inspect the glass, cover, mounting points, sealing surfaces and mirror joint. Look for cracks, damaged wires, corroded contacts or excessive play.
- Compare the actual shade and condition of the paint. The appearance of a used painted part may differ due to age and wear.
2) Required tools and materials
- Hand tools suitable for the fasteners used.
- Plastic trim removal tool, if the trim needs to be removed.
- Soft padding, paint protection and a clean cloth for the mating surfaces.
- Suitable electrical contact cleaner, if cleaning the contacts is necessary.
3) Step-by-step installation procedure
- Park the vehicle safely, switch off the ignition and secure it against movement.
- Prepare the electrical system for disconnecting the mirror according to the manufacturer’s procedure; if disconnecting the battery is required, follow the relevant procedure and wait times.
- Protect the surrounding paint and access the mounts and connector. Carefully release any covers and trim using suitable tools, without forcing them.
- Before disconnecting anything, note the wiring route and how it is secured.
- Release the connector lock and disconnect it by pulling on the connector body, not the wires.
- Support the mirror and gradually release its fasteners. Prevent the part from falling or damaging the paint.
- Remove the original mirror and clean the mating surface. Check the condition of the seal and the area around the mounting points.
- Make a final comparison of both parts, especially the base, connector and wiring passage. If they do not match, do not proceed by modifying the connector or mounting points.
- Position the replacement mirror so that the seal sits correctly and the wiring is not pinched. Start the fasteners by hand and tighten them according to the manufacturer’s service specifications.
- Connect the connector, secure its locking tab and fasten the wiring along its original route, away from moving parts.
- Restore the power supply according to the manufacturer’s procedure and check the electrical functions. Once they have been successfully checked, reinstall any covers and trim that were removed.
4) Post-installation checks and function verification
- Test the glass adjustment in each direction and the power folding and unfolding. Movement should be smooth, without sticking or unusual noises.
- Check the heating when the activation conditions specified in the vehicle owner’s manual are met.
- Check that the mirror is securely fitted, the seal is seated correctly and the trim is properly secured.
- Adjust the mirror for a safe view before driving. During a short test drive, check for image vibration and any unusual aerodynamic noise.
5) Common installation mistakes and how to avoid them
- Choosing the wrong electrical version: before installation, compare the part numbers, connector and all required functions.
- Pinched wiring: check the wiring route and ensure there is enough space in the passage before tightening.
- Incorrectly seated seal: clean the mating surfaces and make sure the seal is not folded or pinched.
- Overtightened fasteners: do not use excessive force and follow the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Forcing the mirror to fold: do not force the electric mechanism by hand; if it sticks, first identify the cause.
Reasons for part damage
Damage to this type of wing mirror is most commonly associated with an impact or prolonged stress on its moving and electrical components. Common causes may include:
- Impact while parking or passing an obstacle – may damage the glass, cover, base or folding mechanism.
- Forcing the mirror to fold or moving it while iced over – places excessive strain on the joint, gears and electric motor.
- Moisture and corroded contacts – may cause adjustment, folding or heating to stop working intermittently.
- Mechanism wear – may cause play, noisy operation or irregular movement.
- Damaged wiring or heating element – may cause one of the electrical functions to fail.
- Incorrect previous installation – pinched wires, a poorly fitted seal or damaged mounts can shorten the part’s service life.
