Replacing the External Wing Mirror Glass

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side mirror

It often happens that when crossing another vehicle, the respective external wing mirrors touch, resulting in the breakage of the mirror itself: in this case, it is not necessary to replace the entire mirror but it is possible to purchase just the mirror glass aftermarket; to replace the glass, simply detach the broken one by levering on the back to remove it from the support and disconnect the wires of the heating system; bring the new glass close, connect the wires of the heating system, align the fixing tabs to the support, and press until it fits correctly.
