The method to remove the interior rearview mirror of the Tayron: Hold the cylinder behind the rearview mirror and rotate it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to remove it. Here are the precautions for removing the interior rearview mirror: 1. The interior rearview mirror is installed by rotating it clockwise by 90 degrees. During installation, ensure proper alignment, and be cautious with the force applied during both removal and installation to avoid damaging the windshield. 2. Note that removing the interior rearview mirror can easily damage the base, leading to looseness after reinstallation. Therefore, avoid unnecessary removal to prevent pulling off the inner layer of the rearview mirror glass. 3. The quality and installation of rearview mirrors are subject to specific industry standards and should not be modified arbitrarily.

I've also disassembled the interior rearview mirror of the Tayron myself. That little thing actually has a pretty simple structure. The mirror base has spring clips. Grab the edges of the mirror with both hands, first tilt it forward about 30 degrees to loosen it up, then push evenly toward the roof. The key is to find the right point of force—some versions require a 45-degree rotation first to unlock. Don’t rush when removing it; if you encounter resistance, don’t yank it hard. Use a soft cloth to protect the glass around the base. By the way, after removing the mirror, you’ll see a small metal piece on the windshield—that’s the positioning point, so don’t touch it. To install a new one, just reverse the steps. A clicking sound means it’s properly locked in place. If you’re doing it yourself, keep a flashlight handy to see the clip positions clearly.

To remove the Tiguan's rearview mirror, first understand its design features. The mirror's base connects to the windshield with a snap-fit structure. I recommend wearing cloth gloves for better grip and to prevent slipping. Feel for the gap behind the base, gently press the small inner tab, then lift upwards to detach it. After removal, you'll see three metal contact points on the base that power the anti-glare function. Check the plastic base for cracks, as they can affect reinstallation stability. The biggest risk is using excessive force and cracking the glass - patience is key. If it feels stuck, spray some rust penetrant, wait 10 minutes, then try again.

Removing the interior rearview mirror in the Tayron is actually quite straightforward, just pay attention to three key points during the process. First is the removal direction – apply force vertically towards the roof, not by twisting side to side. Next, locate the hidden button – newer models have a push-button switch at the base of the mirror stem; press it with your fingertip while pushing upwards to release. Lastly, control the force – I recommend using your entire palm to grip the base and apply even pressure, which is more stable than relying solely on fingers. As a side note, after removal, it's important to clean any adhesive residue on the windshield with alcohol wipes to ensure the new mirror adheres firmly. If you really can't manage it, visit a repair shop to borrow specialized tools.
