How to Replace the External Wing Mirror

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Side mirror

Changing the external wing mirror of your car is easier than expected; you just need a bit of patience, a screwdriver, and Torx keys. First, open the door and lower the window to work comfortably on both the outside and inside of the car. Remove the plastic panel and the securing screws. You can then extract the old mirror and insert the new one. The new one should be placed in the slot and aligned with the old one so that you can refit the screws you previously removed and kept.
