Ford Kuga interior rearview mirror removal method: Pinch the cylinder behind the rearview mirror and rotate it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to remove it. Below is relevant information about the rearview mirror: 1. The car rearview mirror is located on both the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car. The car rearview mirror reflects the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these positions clearly. It acts as a 'second eye,' expanding the driver's field of vision. 2. The car rearview mirror is an important safety component, and its mirror surface, shape, and operation are quite particular. The quality and installation of the rearview mirror have corresponding industry standards and cannot be arbitrary.
I've taken apart the Ford Kuga's rearview mirror several times. It's not a difficult job, but it requires patience. The Ford Kuga's rearview mirror is usually fixed to the windshield with clips or threaded connections. First, check if there are obvious clips on the mirror base. For older models, you might be able to remove it by simply twisting counterclockwise by hand, but don't force it. If it's a newer model with auto-dimming, be careful with the wiring—disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent short circuits. It's advisable to use a plastic pry tool to gently assist with prying the edges, avoiding metal tools that could scratch the glass or interior. Take your time during the process, and if it gets stuck, stop and check online video tutorials or forums for reference. Lastly, remember to clean any adhesive residue before installing a new mirror to ensure clear visibility and safety.
