How do you remove the external mirror of a Volkswagen Passat? Follow these steps. Using a plastic or rubber-coated lever, pry between the edge of the mirror frame and the mirror glass.

Apply leverage until the mirror detaches from the housing; this is a delicate operation as the mirror or the housing may break. Once the mirror is removed, disconnect the power connector for the mirror.

Install the new mirror by connecting the power and securing the clips in plastic and metal.
