Replacing the External Mirror on Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto MK 3, JA - Years 2018-2026
Part: Side mirror

Using a plastic wedge, pry off the cover located at the level of the mirror but inside the door, as shown in the video. At this point, you have access to the three screws securing the cover: unscrew them. Remove the cover and place the new mirror in position, then proceed in reverse by screwing in the fixing bolts and reassembling the plastic. If you only need to replace the glass, pry it off from behind with the plastic lever and disconnect the wires, which you will need to connect to the new mirror before snapping it into place with your hands. Good luck!

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
