How to Remove the External Mirror on a Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Side mirror

Learn how to install an external mirror on a Volkswagen Tiguan. Using a plastic or rubber-coated spatula, pry between the perimeter of the mirror frame and the mirror glass. Pry until the glass detaches from the mirror (disconnect the power cable); this is a delicate operation as the glass or mirror may break. Press on the locking clips to disconnect the mirror cover, replace the damaged part with a new one. Remove the mirror cap if you need to access the interior.
