How to Replace the Outside Rearview Mirror on a Nissan Altima

Model: Nissan Altima L32 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Side mirror

To replace the outside rearview mirror on a Nissan Altima, loosen the screws securing the door panel: these are located inside the handle recess and just below the armrest. Once the panel is detached, disconnect its connector and remove it completely. This will provide access to the screws holding the mirror: by loosening these, the mirror can be removed from its housing and replaced with a new part; after replacement, reinstall all removed parts.
