Nissan Repair: Removing side mirror glass, 2003 nissan maxima, nissan maxima


Question
The driver side mirror on my 2003 Nissan Maxima was cracked.  How do I remove just the glass mirror, not the whole mirror unit itself?

Answer
Fran,

The mirror clips in on three clips.  One is the pivot and the other two are up and down.  The new mirror simply snaps back in place.  I would get WD40 to lubricate the snap points since you do not want to crack the plastic.  ArmorAll works too.  If your mirrors are heated you will need to disconnect the wires once the mirror is out.
