How to repair the rear view mirror on the Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Side mirror

In this video tutorial we can see how to repair the rear view mirror of the Smart Fortwo, if the cap is broken or it no longer makes the movement it should do, in this case it will be possible to reuse our cap, just taking the piece inside. Once the mirror of the Smart has been disassembled, we see that there are about 4 screws, which are used to screw onto the door of the car; so to unscrew them we take a 20 torx key; once the screws have been unscrewed, we find another piece that is used to move the car mirror; then remove the rubber cap; once pulled away we find a nut that must be unscrewed, otherwise the strings remain attached to the door; we remove it and the mirror comes off. Once the mirror has been detached from the car, the mirror must be removed and the mirror must be levered with a screwdriver to remove the mirror. Now take a torx and unscrew the two internal screws that are attached to the internal iron mechanism, until the cap is held, once the screws have been removed we must take a 8 torx and remove the other screws. Replace only the parts that no longer work and reuse other parts that still work.

How to Remove the Dome Light of an Audi Q5

Let's see how to remove and replace the bulbs located in the dome light of the headliner on an Audi Q5. Use a screwdriver or a plastic trim tool to pry between the dome light cover and its perimeter (without breaking the plastic). Pull the bulbs to be replaced out of the dome light. Replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Reinstall the cover in its housing along with the associated parts. Perform the same operation for the other dome lights located in the headliner. Test the light's proper operation at the end of the installation.
