Outer Mirror
7. Outer Mirror
A: REPLACEMENT
1) Remove the door mirror assembly. 12, REMOVAL, Outer Mirror Assembly.>
2) Warm the area around the mirror holder (1) with
a hair drier until the edges of the mirror holder be-
come soft (about 2 or 3 minutes with a 1,000 W dri-
er.)
3) Use a flat tip screwdriver without sharp edges to
lift the mirror out of the mirror holder. (Also discon-
nect the heated mirror connector from the back of
mirror.)
4) When installing the mirror, warm the area around
the mirror holder with a hair drier until the edges of
the mirror holder become soft again (about 2 or 3
minutes with a 1,000 W drier.)
5) Remove the backing of the new double-stick
tape, and push the mirror in to install it.
NOTE:
Unless the mirror holder is warmed sufficiently, the
mirror holder edges may be damaged or the mirror
cracked.
