How to Replace the Mirror Glass on a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Side window

How to replace the mirror glass on a BMW 3 Series? Let's see how to proceed in this video. Using a plastic or rubber trim tool, pry between the perimeter of the mirror housing and the mirror glass. Pry until the glass detaches from the mirror; this is a delicate operation because the glass or the mirror itself could break. Once the damaged mirror glass is removed, disconnect the power connector for the glass. Finally, replace the damaged piece with the new one. Be careful to engage the plastic clips into the supports of the mirror.
