External Wing Mirror Replacement

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

The mirror of the external wing mirror is simply clipped onto the adjustment support: to unclip it, adjust it fully inwards to create enough space to insert your fingers behind the mirror and lever it off, taking care not to damage the plastic tabs. Once unclipped, disconnect the wires for the mirror heating system to remove it completely. If only the mirror is broken, you can also opt to have one shaped by a glazier and glue it onto the original support.
