You may need to replace the wing mirrors on your car. The following guide shows you how to proceed. You will need a new wing mirror, a flathead screwdriver, and a Phillips screwdriver.

First, remove the screws that hold the mirror to the car, using the flathead screwdriver to detach the small triangular cover and the Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws one by one. Once the mirror is detached, insert the new one in the same position as the old one, ensuring that the car's seal properly covers the edges of the new mirror.
