How to Remove the Interior Rearview Mirror of the Sylphy?
2 Answers
The method for removing the interior rearview mirror of the Sylphy: The interior rearview mirror is fixed with a clip-on mechanism. Use a plastic pry tool to gently lift the clip outward and pull it backward along the windshield to remove it. Avoid using sharp or hard objects to pry, as this may damage the glass and the front window film. Rearview mirrors are categorized by installation position into exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. The Sylphy is a new strategic model launched globally by Nissan, featuring innovative design and advanced technology, with a stylish and elegant exterior shaped by S-curve dynamics. The dimensions of the Nissan Sylphy are 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm.
I once replaced the interior rearview mirror on my friend's Sylphy as well. Before removing it, be sure to turn off the engine and cut the power to prevent short circuits. Reach for the plastic shell at the connection between the rearview mirror and the windshield—it's just a U-shaped clip. First, try pushing the top of the shell upward. If it doesn't budge, gently pry it open by inserting a thin plastic sheet into the gap. Inside, you'll see the wiring harness connector; carefully unplug it by pressing the clip and pulling the connector out. Finally, grip the metal rod of the rearview mirror and twist it counterclockwise by about 30 to 40 degrees—you'll hear a distinct click. For newer Sylphy models with anti-glare rearview mirrors, there might be a hidden screw at the bottom, so remember to unscrew it first with a Phillips screwdriver—this is a crucial step! When removing the base, wiggle it out evenly with steady force; don't yank it directly off the glass. If you're routing wires for a dash cam, now's the easiest time to tuck them into the headliner.
