To replace the right external wing mirror glass on your Golf 5, you won't need many tools. First, open the mirror.

Once done, use a plastic trim removal tool to detach the glass. Insert the tool between the glass mirror and the outer cover, and gently unclip the mirror from the three attachments.

Disconnect the heating connectors and treat them with a silicone grease product. Dry the contacts thoroughly and reconnect the wires.

Once completed, reattach the mirror, ensuring the clips engage properly in the mirror supports.
