External Wing Mirror Glass Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the external wing mirror glass is very simple as it is only clipped onto the support through tabs; therefore, detach the broken mirror, disconnect the wires of the demisting system, and remove it completely; then align the new mirror, connect the wires of the demisting system (they do not have a predefined position as they power a resistor) and clip it onto the support, ensuring nothing is damaged and the tabs fit perfectly into their respective slots.
