How to Remove the Passenger Side Wing Mirror of a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Side mirror

How do you remove the mirror of your car? It's a simple operation. In this guide, learn how to remove the external passenger side mirror of a Mini. Pry between the edge of the mirror housing and the glass until it detaches (disconnect the power cable); this is a delicate operation as the glass or the mirror itself may break. Remove the mirror cover if you need to replace it or work inside it. Finally, fit the new mirror, ensuring the plastic clips engage properly in the mirror supports.
