How to disassemble and reassemble the external rearview mirror of a Lancia Ypsilon 840

Model: Lancia Ypsilon Y1, Ypsilon 1, MK 1, 840 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Side mirror

In this video we can see how to replace the rearview mirror of a Lancia Ypsilon MK1. We can easily find the replacement part, for example on E-bay with the code 264067763758 at a price of 34.90 euros, with free delivery. It comes complete with electrical connectors, but even if it were manual, the installation would be the same. To remove the damaged mirror, start by removing the internal cover using a plastic spatula. Here we find the wiring, where we disconnect the electrical connector and two of the three T40 screws. The third screw is located under the plastic cap under the triangle we just removed. Now we install the new mirror, putting back the three screws, the plastic cap, reconnecting the connector, putting back the plastic triangle. And there you have it!
