THANK YOU SO MUCH

Perfect instructions, easily installed in 15 mins, really great, my daughter had broken her mirror, found a compatible one for €38 delivered and installed free of charge thanks to a_bosc2000!

little tip, to not lose the screws in the door if you don't have a magnetic key like me, unscrew with a click key and finish with pliers, same for reassembling!
