Video tutorial

In today's tutorial video, we will briefly see how to remove the glass from the external wing mirror of a Volkswagen Golf sixth generation, but also on other models from the German manufacturer. First, get a plastic lever and carefully pry off the mirror glass, trying not to break it (if already damaged, lever gently to remove all fragments).

Once detached, disconnect the two electrical connectors found on the back. Now, refit the new glass by inserting and securing it!
