This video tutorial demonstrates the procedure for replacing the left external rear view mirror on an Opel Astra. Remove the cracked mirror surface by hand (use a pair of gloves!). Disconnect the electrical connection.

Remove and keep the clips from the old mirror surface and attach them to the new one. Now reconnect the electrical connection by attaching the two wires. Position the mirror, ensuring each clip aligns perfectly; apply the right pressure by hand to complete the operation.
