2 Answers
The method for replacing car rearview mirror glass is: 1. Press the head of the mirror glass by hand to make the tail tilt up; 2. Grab the tail with your hand and pull it outward forcefully to remove the old mirror glass; 3. Replace it with a new mirror glass. The function of the rearview mirror is: to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these positions clearly, expanding the driver's field of vision, and increasing the safety of reversing and driving. The adjustment method of the rearview mirror is: 1. Adjust the horizon image in the left rearview mirror to the center of the mirror; 2. Adjust the image of the left side of the car to occupy one-fourth of the right side of the mirror; 3. Adjust the horizon image in the right rearview mirror to two-thirds of the mirror height; 4. Adjust the image of the right side of the car to occupy one-fourth of the left side of the mirror.
Last time I replaced my car's rearview mirror glass myself, and it was quite easy. All you need is a plastic pry tool or a small card. First, open the car door and locate the back of the mirror. Gently pry a small gap from the edge of the glass, then slowly pry off the entire glass. Don't use too much force, or you might crack the frame. If the rearview mirror has an electric heating function, remember to turn off the car key or disconnect the battery cable to avoid a short circuit. When you get the new glass, check the model first, press it against the frame, and adjust it if you don't hear a click. After installation, test the angle adjustment and heating function to ensure they work properly. I recommend getting an anti-fog design for added safety in winter. Don't forget to clean any dust residue on the bracket to prevent loosening. I once followed an online video tutorial and finished the job in just ten minutes.
