External Wing Mirror Glass Replacement

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

Replacing the glass of the external wing mirror is very simple and economical as it is a readily available aftermarket part; detach the support plate of the damaged mirror by levering on the rear and pulling it away enough to disconnect the wires of the mirror heating system; transfer the metal tab from the old to the new mirror support plate, connect the wires of the heating system (they do not have a fixed position) and align the fixing tabs to press and lock them in place correctly.
