How to Replace the Car's Rear-View Mirror

Model: Volkswagen Sharan MK 1, 7M - Years 1995-2010
Part: Side mirror

Changing the rear-view mirror of your car is a fairly simple operation even if you are not a mechanic or bodywork specialist; you just need a bit of patience, a screwdriver, and some Torx keys. Carefully remove the protective panel inside the car where the retaining screws will be located underneath. The panel is clipped in place. Once the old mirror is removed, you can proceed to insert the new one, ensuring it is correctly positioned in its seat, checking that the car's seal perfectly covers the sides of the mirror.
