unbolt the mirror from the car and look inside the mirror for a bolt to tighten, don't remember if it can be tightened or not.
The mirror needs to be removed from the inside of the car, the plastic molding that goes between the dash and the roof of the car needs to be removed, then you can remove the screws that hold it in, but if it is a power mirror, you will need to disconnect the wiring harness, the wiring harness should be nearby.
When you are in the car, there is a plastic cover in the front corner of the window. Take it off. Depending of the year of your Golf, there will be 3 or 4 bolts. Take them off. Then watch out not to break the little arm (or wire) that goes from the mirror to the door (to adjust the mirror from inside the car). Remove the mirror and then fix the new one.
No
You have to remove the complete mirror from the car. Remove the nuts from the inside.
It changes the direction light has to come from to be reflected into the drivers eyes.
for what car? 2000 gm s15
The nuts holding the mirror to car are accessed by opening door and removing and door panels and/or trim that obstructs the nuts fastening the mirror to car.
* Remove the mirror trim cover from the door panel * Remove the three mirror retaining nuts and detach the mirror from the car
Hm. that seems hard to do, you can bring it to a car glass repair shop to try and fit a new one in there, but your best bet is to just by yourself a whole new mirror.
My 1998 E320 drivers side mirror cracked and leaked fluid and so it couldn't respond to high beams from my rear. The delaer wanted about $450 for the mirror. I had a regular mirror made and adhered it to the car's mirror for $20. Works fine!
Buy a Haynes Repair Manual for your car(@ 25 bucks). You will have the required info to do the job.....
