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.
