Shortcut to replace a Nissan Altima Side View Mirror in About 5 Minutes (Real Time).
A simple shortcut to replace a damaged Altima side-view mirrors: 2013-2018. *Model years 2002-2012 will have the same entry point, but the harness connector will be easier to reach.
*Tools used: (1) 3/8 in socket wrench, 3/8 10 mm deep socket, and flathead screwdriver or flat plastic pry tool.

Update: I just followed these exact instructions for my 14 Altima, and it took me 10 minutes. Great video and thanks. 10mm socket. I bought my side mirror from Amazon for $62 and saved me $740 that the dealership was going to charge.

Glad you got it done and saved time and money. $740 for a side mirror should be criminal.

This is my first car project I’ve never worked on a car before and I’m really tired of bringing my car into the shop for simple stuff I can do myself. Couldn’t get any better or easier for a first time car project!

Nissan quoted me the same now here I am watching this video 😂
This is GREAT. The dealership wanted $400-500 to do this... I bought my part for about $100 and am about to install it. Thanks for this public service video; very kind of you!
You hit the nail on the head bruh, 3 minutes total with about 5 sips of coffee. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! I can barely put my own oil in my car, and was able to change my broken mirror in like 5 minutes! Was so excited and proud lol I couldn't of done it without your help!
Thanks, mate. I have just replaced the right side mirrors only for Nissan daulis2 2013, not all things, and it's so easy to do so. May God continue to bless you abundantly, man.
Update: this took me 5 minutes... and saved me $400. Thanks again!

Awesome! Can I borrow $10? LOL
Worked great I was dreading having to take off the whole door but this solution was easy and took 10 minutes
Great video. I just replaced my mirror. It took me just a few minutes. I paid for the replacement mirror. I was about to take it to the mechanic to replace the mirror. Watch the video and did it myself instead. Very easy. Thank you for the great help. And for saving me some money by doing it myself.

On my way to work this morning I got side clipped and this was the exact video I needed. Like you said a lot of unnecessary I being put out there. Thank you for being straight to the point without any cuts! 😅😅 Update: 4 days later since I put my mirror on. It was relatively easy except for the nuts on my 2017 Nissan Altima SR were put on soooo tightly that it was almost difficult to take them off. I broke my rotater on my socket because it was so hard to get off. I finally got them off but I did have to unclip the part of the door closest to the inside of the passenger side but that was purely due to how tight the nuts were and not having enough space to really press hard on them. Now that I have the mirror I put on, I shouldn’t have to unclip the door like you said.
Thank you for this simple but yet very powerful technique, I will try on my altima

If you was talking about the guy doing the white Altima,it was because the female plug was further down in the door panel for a 2013_2016. Older models are up further.Thanks for video 👍🏾

I saw the other video first too. I am just glad to run across your video.
This worked for me as well. Very simple, and the main trouble I had was I did it at night and not in the best lighting. But still very pleased. Note: I rolled my window down while doing this, and now my window is a little wonky. Nothing major, but 8t definitely seats not as good as it did before, so probably best to leave the window up if you can.

Excellent 👍 Just a question does the plastic part come off the back of the mirror?
So my drivers side mirror will not move up and down but will traverse left to right . Any idea on what could be wrong or how to take mirror housing apart to investigate the issue?

Knock the other guy their friend. Totally dig your personality. This vid is "idiot proof". Problem we had was some lazy good for nuttin homeless idiot bumped into out 2013 Altman r-mirror jaring it whereas it needed tightened. All we wanted was some info on how to get to those 3 nuts. Go figure! Then we found you. Again, "IDIOT PROOF". We subscribed and thank you. Dont change your disposition. Its real, so keep it real!

Can anyone recommend a reliable store to order the part from online? A tree limb hit my car on my drive home today and ripped my right mirror off. My dealership quoted me $930 to replace it. Unreal. I was afraid to do this myself if I had to remove the whole panel but with your video, I think I can do it. Thank you!
