Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to replace the exterior mirror on Nissan Qashqai

Replacing the exterior rear-view mirror on Nissan Qashqai is a rather cumbersome operation, this is because the power connector is located behind the door panel so to disconnect it you will first have to remove it. In the internal door handle there will be a cover that must be removed by levering with a flat screwdriver or with a plastic lever, this will give access to two bolts that must be unscrewed. Once the two bolts have been unscrewed, it will be possible to remove the panel by levering along the perimeter of the same in order to release all the plastic clips. After releasing all the clips, paying attention to the handle, simply lift the panel to detach it from the car, this will give access to the main power connector located behind the panel which can then be disconnected allowing the panel to be removed. At this point you will finally have access to the power connector of the mirror recognizable by the cable coming from it, therefore, once the latter has also been disconnected, you can proceed with the final disassembly. The mirror will be fixed to the car by means of three bolts hidden behind the plastic cover located in the direction of the mirror itself, this will be fixed by interlocking and it will be enough to do a little lever to remove it and thus be able to unscrew the three bolts. After unscrewing the three bolts, the mirror should come off easily from the car and it will therefore be possible to insert the new one and then complete the work by reassembling everything in the reverse order to that of disassembly.
