Replacing the External Rear-View Mirror

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the external rear-view mirror involves removing the door panel. Start by disconnecting the power supply by removing the negative terminal of the battery. Next, carefully remove the door panel, paying attention to the various internal wiring that needs to be disconnected. Behind the plastic cover, you will find the three retaining screws for the mirror that need to be removed. Disconnect the wire by acting on the connector and remove the mirror. Refit the new mirror by reversing the previous operations. Ensure the perfect positioning of the three supports in their respective housings. Check that the adjustment mechanism still functions correctly.
