How to Disassemble the Rearview Mirror of Baojun 510?
2 Answers
To disassemble the rearview mirror of the Baojun 510, first, pinch the rear cylinder and then rotate it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to remove it. The exterior rearview mirror reflects the rear and side areas of the car, the lower rearview mirror shows the front and lower areas, and the interior rearview mirror displays the rear and interior conditions of the car. Here are some details about rearview mirrors: 1. The car's rearview mirrors reflect the rear, side, and lower areas of the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas and expand their field of vision. 2. The left and right rearview mirrors and the interior rearview mirror serve different purposes, and their mirror structures may vary. 3. There are mainly two types of rearview mirror surfaces: flat mirrors and convex mirrors.
Removing the Baojun 510 mirror glass requires caution. Here's what I learned from replacing my own heated mirror glass. First, prepare a plastic pry tool (don't use a screwdriver to avoid scratching the trim). Insert the pry tool into the gap at the edge of the mirror glass and apply slight pressure to loosen the internal clips. Key point: the mirror base is secured by three plastic clips. You need to press horizontally against the top edge while pushing downward and slowly pulling outward. Don't panic if you hear clicking sounds—that's just the clips releasing. Once the glass is off, you'll see the turn signal connector; pinch the white clip to disconnect it. The mirror housing has a soft rubber waterproof seal—just slowly peel it off along the edge with your fingernail. The entire mirror base is secured by three T20 screws on the inner side of the door panel, so you'll need to remove the door panel if you want to take off the entire mirror. If you're doing it yourself, keep a few spare clips handy—it's easy to break the tabs when prying the mirror glass. Before starting, it's best to look up repair diagrams online for your specific model year to check the clip positions. When I took apart my 2018 model, I found the clip layout was slightly different from the 2017 version.
