Replacing the External Mirror of a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Side mirror

How to replace the external mirror of a Volkswagen Golf? Follow this video to proceed. Using a plastic or rubber lever, pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror glass. Pry until the glass detaches from the mirror; this is a delicate operation as the glass or the mirror itself may break. Once the damaged mirror is removed, unscrew the round plastic plate with a screwdriver, and replace it with the new one. Ensure the plastic clips engage in the mirror supports. Use the same procedure to remove the indicator.
