Part: Accessory kit

Tasks that can save you money and time are those involving sensors and small tools that do not require extensive knowledge for replacement. In this brief tutorial, you will learn how to do it yourself. The sensor in question is located under the plastic panel at the base of the rearview mirror. Use a plastic tool to avoid damaging the windshield and pry to remove the cover. You can disconnect the sensor from the connector and remove the clips that hold the sensor cover. Once the sensor block is removed, there will not be much left at the base of the mirror, so you can reassemble everything by following the steps in reverse.
