How do you replace the external rearview mirror of the Smart Forfour?

Model: Smart Forfour W453, MK 2 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Side mirror

In order to replace the external rearview mirror of the Smart Forfour, you need to leverage an object to detach the triangular cover inside the door, corresponding to the mirror. Once this cover is detached, you can unscrew the screw located in the seat of the internal handle, so that the panel can be moved, providing access to the mirror connector. The mirror can now be removed from its seat by unscrewing the corresponding fixing screws; at this point, it will be possible to insert the new one, reassembling the other removed components.
