How to Remove the Rear View Mirror on a Volkswagen Golf 5

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

How do you remove the rear view mirror on a Volkswagen Golf 5? In this video, learn how to take it off. Use a plastic lever to pry between the edge of 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 damaged mirror is removed, disconnect the power connector for the glass. Replace the damaged part with the new one. Ensure the plastic clips snap into place on the mirror supports.
