How to remove the external mirror from a Volkswagen Golf Mk6? Follow these steps: use a plastic or rubber trim removal tool to pry between the mirror frame and the mirror glass. Pry until the glass separates from the mirror; this is a delicate operation as the glass or the mirror itself may break.

Once the mirror is removed, disconnect the power connector for the glass and press the locking clips to detach the mirror cover. Unscrew the fastening screws of the plastics and extract the mirror.

Fit the new mirror with all the attached parts.
