How to Change the Mirror on a Skoda Octavia

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 3, 5E - Years 2012-2019
Part: Side mirror

Do you want to change the mirror on a Skoda Octavia? Here’s how to remove the mirror from the external mirror housing. Pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror glass. Keep prying until the plastics detach from the mirror (disconnect the power cable). Replace the damaged part with the new one. Ensure the plastic clips snap into the supports of the mirror. Fit a new mirror identical to the one removed. Connect the electrical connector if the mirror is equipped with a demister.
