How to Replace the Glass of the External Rear-View Mirror on the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Side mirror

Replace the mirror glass of a Volkswagen Passat (or Jetta). It is recommended to wear gloves if your mirror is broken, as the glass may injure you when removed. The glass itself, as shown in this video, can be found on major e-commerce platforms at prices ranging from £3.50 to £6, making it a reasonable expense. Once you have removed all the glass, reconnect the pins that adjust its position and reattach the clips where they correspond between the glass and the support: it may take a few attempts to find the right spot. Ensure it is securely fixed by pressing gently, clean it well, and the job is complete.
