How to Remove the Rearview Mirror of Nissan Sunny?
2 Answers
The removal and installation of the interior rearview mirror for Nissan Sunny is quite simple. Lift the clip at the joint between the rearview mirror and the windshield with your hand, then pull the mirror upward to remove it. Below are the detailed steps: 1. First, prepare the necessary tools for removal, including a flathead screwdriver. Start by using the flathead screwdriver to pry open a gap between the mirror casing and the base of the mirror from the edge. Press the lower part of the mirror with your hand; this mirror is movable, and pressing it will widen the gap at the top, which is our goal to facilitate the next steps. Insert the flathead screwdriver into the gap between the mirror and the casing, starting from the left side as there are two slots here. Carefully pry open the left one, ensuring to proceed slowly. 2. Similarly, use the flathead screwdriver to pry open the right side gap between the mirror and the casing, gently releasing the clip inside. Proceed slowly and steadily. At this point, you can remove the mirror casing by hand. 3. Disconnect the wiring harness of the mirror by hand; there are two wires in total. Do this slowly to avoid breaking the wires. 4. Finally, pry open the clips securing the mirror, and the mirror can then be removed.
Removing the Nissan Sunny's side mirror is actually not difficult, I've replaced it several times myself. If you're referring to the exterior mirror on the door, first prepare a Phillips screwdriver or wrench because there's usually a cover or inner trim panel to remove at the connection point between the mirror and door. After gently prying open the cover, you'll see the fixing screws - loosen them but don't remove completely, then carefully push or twist the mirror outward until it detaches from the ball joint. Pay attention to the wiring inside; if it's power-adjustable, don't yank and break the wires, and remember to disconnect the car's negative battery terminal first to prevent short circuits. When reinstalling, align properly and test the mirror positioning. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. Take it slow and you'll save money on garage visits while learning new skills - car repairs can be quite fun.
