How to Repair the Wing Mirror of a Smart Fortwo

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

Video tutorial
Detailed instructions - In this video tutorial, see how to repair the wing mirror of a Smart Fortwo if the cover is broken or it no longer moves as it should. You can reuse the cover by only replacing the internal part. Once the mirror is removed from the Smart, you will find about four screws that secure it to the door; use a Torx 20 screwdriver to unscrew them. After removing the screws, you will find another piece that moves the mirror; remove the rubber cap. Once removed, you will find a nut that needs to be unscrewed; otherwise, the cables will remain attached to the door. Remove it, and the mirror will come off. After detaching the mirror from the car, take out the glass and use a screwdriver to pry it off. Now take a Torx screwdriver and unscrew the two internal screws attached to the metal mechanism that holds the cover. Once the screws are removed, take a Torx 8 screwdriver and remove the other screws. Replace only the parts that no longer work and reuse the other parts that still function.
