How to Remove the Rearview Mirror Glass of the New Sylphy?
2 Answers
The rearview mirror of the New Sylphy is secured with clips. To remove it, first use a plastic pry tool to gently pry the clips outward, then pull backward along the windshield. Avoid using sharp or hard objects to prevent damage to the glass and front window film. During driving, vehicles are inevitably prone to minor accidents. As the widest component installed on a vehicle, the rearview mirror is most susceptible to impact in case of side collisions. To minimize scratches, the rearview mirror is equipped with a folding function. The Sylphy is a compact sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Powering the Sylphy is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Removing the rearview mirror glass of a new Sylphy requires some finesse. I helped my neighbor with it last time. First, prepare a small pry bar or flathead screwdriver, preferably wrapped with soft cloth to prevent scratches. The key is to locate the clip position under the heated edge of the glass, gently pry open a gap there, and then slowly pull it outward. There's a connector for the heating wire behind the glass—carefully unplug it without yanking the wires. After removal, avoid using alcohol to clean the adhesive surface as it may leave marks. The whole process should be done gently to avoid broken glass shards that take forever to clean up. Once removed, the mirror housing screws are inside, making it convenient to clean dust. The key is patience—beginners should ideally follow a video tutorial for reference.
