Mirror Holder Replacement

NOTE: Put on gloves to protect your hands. Carefully push on the top edge of the mirror holder (A) by hand. Put a shop towel in the opening between the lower edge of the mirror holder and the mirror housing (B) to prevent scratches, and detach the bottom clips (C) with a flat-tip screwdriver wrapped with protective tape. |

Carefully pull out the bottom edge of the mirror holder (A) to separate the adhesive (B), and then release the side clips (C). Separate the mirror holder from the actuator (D) by releasing the hooks (E). If equipped, disconnect the mirror defogger connectors (F). |

Before reinstalling the mirror holder to the inner holder (A) of the actuator, check the actuator rods (B) and the actuator boots (C): If each rod is off the actuator hole, insert it securely. The whole of each rod should be covered with the boot. If not, adjust the boot into proper position. |

1. If either of the actuator boots (A) is hard to adjust its position because the top of the boot is down on the actuator rod (B) and it was turned inside out, disassemble the mirror actuator assembly to reset the turned boots on the rod, then reassemble them:
   -1. | Remove the mounting screw (C).
   -2. | Remove the washer (D), the spring (E), the lock cap (F) and the inner holder (G) with the boots from the actuator (H).
   -3. | If necessary, remove the boots.
   -4. | Stretch the turned boot, and put it on the rod entirely. Take care not to tear or damage either of the boots. It is irreplaceble.
   -5. | Reinstall the removed parts, then secure them with the screw. NOTE: Make sure each actuator rod is inserted to the actuator securely, and each actuator boot is fully seated on the actuator.
If equipped, reconnect the mirror defogger connectors. Reattach the hooks of the mirror holder to the actuator, then position the mirror holder on the actuator. Carefully push on the clip portions of the mirror holder until the mirror holder locks into place. Check the actuator operation. |
