Replacement of External Rear-View Mirror

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Side mirror

Firstly, you can purchase a new aftermarket mirror, which includes the support with a motor for adjusting the mirror, the outer cover, and the mirror itself. Start by removing the external rear-view mirror by first disengaging the triangular internal cover to access the mirror's mounting pins. To complete the removal, you also need to take off the door panel to disconnect the wiring connector linked to the mirror adjustment button. Removing the panel is straightforward; just be careful when taking off the cover of the internal handle, as there are mounting pins for the panel underneath. Proceed in reverse order for reassembly.
