By opening the door where you will perform the replacement, you can remove the plastic cover that conceals the lever for adjusting the mirror. To unscrew the washer at the base of the lever, use a screwdriver and a hammer.

Now remove the screws on the inner side of the triangular panel to extract it, and by lowering the window, you can completely remove the triangle. Next, unscrew the bolts securing the mirror, then remove it to extract the mirror from the outside.

Retrace the steps described for reassembly.
