Very helpful video. For me, 6:49 is when I would check that the replacement works before re-assembly - especially if it's not a genuine VM part.

This video was so helpful, I really appreciate that you took the time to show every step and what things look like from different angles.

eelharon - Thank you! I try to make it easy for anyone who wants to attempt to do the job themselves.

For anyone watching. Mirror (glass) doesn’t need to come off. U can access the 2 cover tabs my moving the mirror down all the way. Saves time and possibility to break glass! Great vid:)

To replace the whole assembly, you'll need to remove the interior door panel and then unbolt the mirror assembly from the inside.

hello buddy, I had a cracked mirror cap but its not the upper cap shown in your video, its the lower cap. The question is can I change the lower cap without removing the outer door panel , because lower cap holds the mirror main neck from its hole.

@Corysdiyauto

Hello there, I believe you have to remove the inner door panel to access the screws that hold the side mirror on. You'll need to take the mirror off of the car and then replace the part that you need. It might be easier to locate a new or used mirror and just replace the whole assembly.

@@Corysdiyauto thank you👍 I discovered that inside notches of mirror frame also broken as result caps were not holding very tight and my upper cap already have crack, plus just tip of the indicator bar broken from the tip just small area but it looks like absent in the insertion point, in addition I broke the main mirror while I try to seperate frame mirror😔 I tried to avoid buying the whole mirror but now it seems have to buy it because removing the door covers too much hassle for me because of the limited time, also so five different parts I need come nearly cost of complete mirror

I have tried to follow this helpful video, but it seems that the tabs were already snapped by the previous owner when I tried to remove the back cover of the mirror. Does anyone know how I can get round this please?
