Replacement of the External Wing Mirror

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

Replacing the mirror of the external wing mirror is extremely simple as it is fixed to the support via plastic tabs; purchasing the new mirror is equally straightforward and it is possible to find aftermarket options as well. Bring the mirror close to its housing, connect the wires for the demisting system (the position does not matter as it is just powering a resistor), align the fixing tabs with the support and press until it clicks into place correctly: at this stage, take care not to damage the tabs.
