How to replace the external rearview mirror on a Smart Roadster?

Model: Smart Smart 452, Roadster - Years 2003-2005
Part: Side mirror

As we can see in this tutorial, replacing the external rearview mirror on the Smart Roadster is an extremely simple and fast operation. First of all, we open the door in which we will work, then we remove the indicated rubber cap and unscrew the just released ring. We then unscrew the two fixing screws of the plastic panel with a Torx T10 key, remove it and, using a Torx T20 key, unscrew the additional indicated screws. At this point, all that remains is to separate the mirror from the door and follow the exact reverse procedure.
