This video shows and describes the procedure to replace the external mirror of a Volkswagen Polo. First, use the electric control to orient it fully to one side, allowing you to remove it from the housing. Once done, use a plastic lever to pull it outwards until it disengages from its seat, then disconnect the demisting wires located at the rear.

At this point, proceed to install the new mirror in its housing, remembering to connect the demisting cables first. Finally, electrically test the directionality, ensuring everything functions perfectly.
