How to Install the Rearview Mirror of Jetta?
2 Answers
External rearview mirrors can be installed in two different positions: near the door glass and on the fender next to the front engine hood. They also vary in color, either matching the body color or contrasting with it. The main installation positions for external rearview mirrors are near the door window glass and on the fender next to the engine hood. Here are some additional details: 1. The electric rearview mirror button for the Volkswagen New Jetta is located on the driver's side door panel. To adjust the rearview mirror, rotate the button to the L position and move it up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle of the left mirror. Rotate the button to the R position and move it similarly to adjust the right mirror. Once adjusted to the desired position, rotate the button to the middle to lock the setting. 2. For the driver's side left external rearview mirror, adjust the horizon reflection to the center of the mirror and position the reflection of the left side of the car to occupy the right 1/4 of the mirror. This maximizes the visible range and enhances driving safety. For the central interior rearview mirror, adjust the horizon reflection to the center and position the reflection of the right ear to the left edge of the mirror.
I just DIY installed rearview mirrors on my new Jetta, and the process was quite fun! Prepare a Phillips screwdriver and new mirrors, sometimes you even need to remove the inner door panel. Carefully unscrew the old mirror's bolts, being careful not to damage the wiring. When installing the new mirror, align it with the mounting slots, secure it in place, and plug in the wires to test the power functions. Then fine-tune the angle to ensure a wider rearview. I recommend having a friend help hold it to avoid slipping and wasting time. After installation, testing revealed reduced blind spots, making reversing much safer. Remember to regularly check such parts to prevent sudden failures. If your DIY skills are average, take it step by step with patience. The sense of accomplishment afterward is amazing, and you save on repair costs!
