Replacement of External Rear-View Mirror Glass

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the glass of the external rear-view mirror is very simple and does not require disassembly, as it is secured to the support via clip tabs. Release the damaged mirror by levering at the back, pull it away from its housing, and disconnect the wires for the heating system. Bring the new mirror close, connect the wires for the heating system, align the fixing tabs with the support, and press until it clips in perfectly, ensuring all tabs are secured.
