How do you replace a side view mirror on a 2003 Hyundai Accent?

Answer 1

This applies at least to the hatchback model. It may also apply to the 4 door as well.

You will need a flat screw driver or trim tool and a #3 Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Roll down the window.

2. At the front of the door, just in front of the window, on the inside is a small black triangular piece of trim. This may or may not have a small tweeter speaker in it. Gently pry this piece off by prying at top of the triangle. Don't push the

screwdriver in too far or else you may damage any wiring in there. The triangle is held in place by a single "snap" connector at the top. Another tab angles down off the bottom to wedge it in place. When the snap connector releases, pivot the triangle downward. If there is a speaker in the triangle, just let it hang there. It

won't go far. You should be able to see 3 big screws.

3. If you have power mirrors, unplug the connector to the mirror. It has a small tab on one side that must be squeezed in to unplug it.

4. Remove the 3 screws while supporting the mirror. When you remove the mirror, take note of any gaskets between the mirror and door.

5. To install, reverse the above steps. The triangle of trim will snap back into place with light pressure.
