Changing the passenger mirror on a Mercedes A-Class

Photo 1: We start by opening the passenger door to more easily unclip the upper cover by sliding it upwards (red arrows).

Photo 2: we then unclip the lower cover which protects the electrical connectors, using a small flat screwdriver.

Photo 3: Once the covers are removed, we can see the mirror fixing screws (yellow arrows) and we can follow the path of the connection cable (green dashes).

Photo 1: remove the connector by pushing the tab towards the black wires (red arrow) and gently pull on the connector.

Photo 2: Unscrew the rearview mirror fixing screws (yellow arrows) with a T25 Torx screwdriver. Remove the rearview mirror from the outside of the car.

Photo 1: Top is the new mirror, bottom is the old one. The dimensions are identical, as are the cable length and connectors.

Photo 2: Note: The new mirror comes with a black clip-on cover. You can also salvage the original cover if it is painted.

Photo 1: we position the new rearview mirror from the outside using the positioning rod (red arrow), and we reconnect the connector to the plate (red circle)

Photo 2: then screw the 3 torx fixing screws back in (orange arrows).

After testing that the rearview mirror is working properly, replace the two plastic covers (refer to the first step of the tutorial)

Photos 1 and 2: we position the shell and clip it into the three notches provided for this purpose (red arrows).

Once the hull is clipped, the repair is finished!
