I think removing the rearview mirror of a Volkswagen should be done step by step to be reliable. From my experience, the rearview mirror structure of Volkswagen models like the Golf or Passat is similar. Before removal, it's essential to disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits. Choose plastic pry tools or small screwdrivers as tools, avoiding metal ones to prevent scratching the door paint. Start by prying open the housing. If it has electric heating, carefully disconnect the electrical connector and mark its position for easier reassembly. The mirror base usually has hidden screws under the door's inner panel; after unscrewing them, gently pull to remove the mirror, being careful not to yank too hard and damage the wiring. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, but if you're not experienced, it's best to prepare a repair manual or video for reference. After removal, clean the mirror base and wiring harness to avoid dust buildup affecting installation, making it smoother when installing a new mirror next time. Remember, safety first—wear gloves to protect your hands.
