To replace the external wing mirror on a Volkswagen Golf, completely detach the door panel from its housing: to do this, unscrew the screws located next to the window switch and at the bottom of the panel. Once removed, proceed to loosen the screws that secure the mirror to its housing: this will allow you to disconnect the underlying connector and subsequently insert the new replacement mirror.

After replacement, check that everything is functioning.
