Step-by-step instructions on replacing Side View Mirror Glass

Step 1: Tilt the mirror glass down.

Tilt the mirror down so that if you sit in the driver’s seat and look at the side mirror, you should see the rear tire or the ground.

Step 2: Locate the retaining clip

Look at the back of the mirror at the top part. You should see the clip that locks the mirror in place.

Step 3: Remove the side mirror glass

Lift the metal wire clip up and towards the front of the car to unlock the side mirror glass.

Step 4: Detach the side mirror glass

Once the clip is removed, you can remove the glass. It may require that you twist the mirror slightly to the left and then back to the right. Do that several times until the mirror can be removed.

Step 5: Install the new glass.

If you are replacing the glass only, you need to remove the old glass and install the new one. First, remove the old damaged glass from the mirror plastic frame. You can heat the glass and easily remove the glue residue using a hair dryer. Next, glue the glass into the plastic frame. Follow directions that may have come with the glass.

Step 6: Install on the side mirror

Next is time to install the glass back on the side view mirror. Start by pressing the new mirror in place. You should hear the frame click when it is properly inserted in place. Use your screwdriver to lock the locking wire back in place. Look at the picture to see how the clip should be locked.
