Before starting, open the driver's door of your Volkswagen Tiguan. Begin by removing the door panel, disengaging the clips and unscrewing the fixing screws to free the panel itself and disconnect the various cables and electrical connectors.

Next, unclip the clips that secure the mirror adjustment switch. By doing this, you will have freed the switch itself.

At this point, you can remove it from its housing, completing the disassembly. To install the new switch, follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
