Mirror Holder Replacement

2-door

NOTE:

- Put on gloves to protect your hands.

- When prying with a flat-tipped screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage.

1. Adjust the mirror fully to the inward position.

2. Insert a long, thin flat-tipped screwdriver along the notch (A) on the mirror holder (B). Slide the tip of the screwdriver between the mirror holder and the actuator (C).

3. Quickly twist the screwdriver to separate the mirror holder from the mirror actuator.

4. Insert the screwdriver further under the mirror holder and twist it again.
NOTE: Do not pry up on the mirror holder to separate the two parts. You may break either the mirror glass or the actuator.






5. Separate the mirror holder (A) from the actuator (B) by slowly pulling the mirror apart while separating the adhesive (C), and release the hooks (D). If equipped, disconnect the mirror defogger connectors from the heater pad terminals.






6. Before reinstalling the mirror holder to the actuator (A), check the actuator rods (B) and the actuator boots (C).
NOTE: Make sure each actuator rod is inserted into the actuator securely, and each actuator boot is fully seated on the actuator.

7. If equipped, reconnect the mirror defogger connectors.

8. Reattach the hooks of the mirror holder to the actuator, then position the mirror holder on the actuator. Carefully push on the hooks of the mirror holder until the mirror holder locks into place.

9. Check the actuator operation.
