Don't fool around with pressure washers kids
I was washing my car at the U do it carwash and sprayed too hard on my passenger side mirror. It cracked. I compared prices between the dealer and partsshop and then ordered it from the dealer. (The weak Canadian dollar plus shipping costs placed it higher than the dealer)
How do I replace the glass? How do I take the passenger side mirror apart? Please help Thank you Mike McKinney

Pressure washers can be really powerful.
I have drilled straight through concrete and blown wood apart with mine. Sorry, I don't know how to replace the mirror, just sharing pressure-washer screw-up stories.

You should be able to pry it off.

If it's like the W126 mirror, there is a triangle shaped blank plastic plate on the inside opposite the mirror. Carefully pop it out and remove 2 or 3 small screws, then disconnect the wiring, now the mirror is free and if you look inside there will be a circular spring clip about 2 1/2" in diameter. Get it to release and the glass part will come out.
Ernie PS.....just an idea, if you have a wrecking yard that lets you go in and retrieve your own parts, it makes for a really good dry run/experimental prooving grounds. |
