How to Replace the External Rear View Mirror on Mazda CX-3

Model: Mazda Cx 3 MK 1 - Years 2015-2023
Part: Side mirror

To replace the external rear view mirror on the Mazda CX-3, you need to remove the inner door panel by disconnecting the electrical connectors (for the speakers, window lifters, etc.). Once the panel is removed, you will see the screws (usually 3) that secure the mirror to the bodywork. Locate the connector for the electric adjustment, and any heating and courtesy light. With the help of another person to support the mirror from the outside, unscrew the nuts and remove the mirror assembly. You can find the new mirror on AliExpress with code 32965208174 for £15.39, with free delivery. Position it and tighten the bolts, reconnect the connector, and before refitting the panel, test the mirror's operation.
