How to replace the external rear-view mirror

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Side mirror

The procedure for this mirror replacement is generally applicable to all vehicles that have a non-electric mirror. Start from a situation where the previous mirror has broken, so it does not need to be removed. Begin by removing the triangular trim inside the driver's side glass. Inside, there is a bolt that secures the outer triangle. Unscrew it and remove that as well. Now position the new mirror in the outer triangle; the screws will align. Reinsert the screws from the inside and replace the triangular trim, allowing the glass adjuster to protrude. The job is complete.
