External Wing Mirror Glass Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Side mirror

In case of a broken wing mirror glass, you can remedy by replacing just the glass and not the entire mirror: this replacement is easily available in the aftermarket; carefully lever behind the broken glass to detach it from the support and move it away enough to disconnect the heated mirror wires; then bring the new glass close, remove the adhesive film, connect the heated mirror wires, align it correctly with the support, and press until it snaps into place, taking care not to damage the plastic clips.
