Part: Side mirror

Replacing the external wing mirror is very straightforward and the replacement part is easy to find in the aftermarket: before purchasing, check if the mirror has a demisting system; lever the back of the mirror to detach it and pull it away enough to disconnect the connectors for the demisting system; bring the new mirror close, connect the demisting wires, and align the fixing tabs with the corresponding support so that pressing the mirror into place secures it.
