Method for removing and installing the rearview mirror cover of the Sagitar: 1. Handle the rearview mirror glass: Press the head of the glass with your hand to make the tail lift, then grab the tail and pull it outward forcefully to remove the glass. 2. After removing the glass, if the rearview mirror has a heating function, also disconnect the wire of the heating element. 3. Unscrew the screws located at the edge and the bottom of the rearview mirror. 4. Unscrew the screw under the middle of the rearview mirror, then the middle component can be removed. The outer rearview mirror removal is complete. Here is some relevant information: The rearview mirror allows the driver to obtain external conditions behind, beside, and below the car, making it a very important component.
I've taken apart the Jetta's mirror housing several times, and my experience is to prepare tools like plastic pry bars to avoid scratches and to be patient. The housing is secured by clips, and the electric version has wiring, so disconnect the battery's negative terminal before starting to prevent short circuits. When removing, gently pry from the bottom or edge gaps without using too much force. The clips are located at the four corners, so take your time prying them open one by one. After removal, check the clips and wiring for any damage and replace parts if necessary. When reinstalling, align the housing properly and press evenly until you hear a click, indicating it's secure. It's best to do the whole process in a garage to prevent dust from affecting the mirror's adjustment function after installation. In short, carefulness is key—forcing things can easily damage the car.
