When the glass of the external mirror is damaged due to an accident, it is necessary to replace it as soon as possible since the function of the external mirror is very important during driving and not just for parking the vehicle. To perform this operation on a BMW 1 Series model E82, insert a plastic lever inside the mirror to remove the glass by applying pressure outward.

Disconnect the glass connector and proceed with the replacement. After inserting the new glass, test the operation of the mirror by closing and opening it using the control.
