NOTE:

- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- Take care not to scratch the mirror housing or related parts.

1. Tilt the mirror fully upward, or carefully push on the top edge of the mirror holder (A) by hand.





2. Put a shop towel in the opening between the lower edge of the mirror holder and the mirror housing (B) to prevent scratches. Insert a flat-tip screwdriver wrapped with protective tape through the guide notches (C) of the mirror holder, and detach the bottom clips (D).

3. Carefully pull out the bottom edge of the mirror holder (A) to separate the adhesive (B), then release the side clips (C).

NOTE: In cold weather, gently heat the mirror holder to at least 68 °F (20 °C) before removing it.





4. Separate the mirror holder from the actuator (D) by releasing the hooks (E). If equipped, disconnect the mirror defogger connectors (F).

5. Before reinstalling the mirror holder to the inner holder (A) of the actuator, make sure the actuator rods (B) are securely mounted in the holes, and that the boots (C) properly cover each rod.





6. If equipped, reconnect the mirror defogger connectors.

7. Reattach the hooks of the mirror holder to the actuator, then position the mirror holder on the actuator. Carefully push on the side and bottom clips of the mirror holder until the mirror holder locks into place.

8. Check the actuator operation.
