How to replace the glass of the Skoda Octavia's side mirror

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Side mirror

In this video we see how to replace the glass of the external mirror of the Skoda Octavia: first of all, tilt the glass/mirror as much as possible, so that it can be removed from the plastic casing; carefully release it from its support, using a plastic spatula to avoid scratching the bodywork. Remove the glass, also disconnecting the electrical connector, then take the opportunity to treat the connectors with a specific product. We can find the new mirror for example on Amazon with the code B00HQFUJTY at the price of 10.19 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. Now reconnect the connectors to the mirror, and then gently reposition the glass/mirror in its housing: a firm but careful pressure will reinsert it in place.
