How to Replace the External Rear-View Mirror on a Mini?

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Side mirror

To replace the external rear-view mirror on a Mini, you need to open and close it so that the three screws at the base of its support become visible. All three screws must be completely loosened to slide the mirror and its support out of their housing. After lifting the mirror, you can disconnect the underlying connector, allowing it to be completely removed and replaced with a new spare part: the new part must be connected and secured with the appropriate screws.
