How to Replace the Side Mirror on BMW X1

Model: BMW X1 E84 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Side mirror

If the glass of the external rearview mirror breaks, you can replace just the glass instead of the entire mirror assembly. The glass is secured with clips; simply pry it from the back to detach and remove it after disconnecting the connector that powers the heating element for defrosting. Then, connect the connector to the new glass, align the mounting tabs with the corresponding slots in the support, and press it until it snaps into place. If you also want to remove the cover, just pry along the edge to detach it.
