The method for removing and installing the rearview mirror on the Ford Kuga is: 1. For removal, pinch the cylinder behind the rearview mirror and rotate it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to detach; 2. For installation, align the rearview mirror position and rotate it clockwise by 90 degrees to secure it in place. The functions of the rearview mirror are: 1. Expanding the driver's field of vision; 2. Facilitating safe overtaking and lane changing. Taking the 2019 Ford Kuga as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4524mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2690mm, rear track width 1565mm, fuel tank capacity 60 liters, and curb weight 1592kg.
Removing the Ford Kuga's side mirror isn't actually difficult—I've replaced mine three times. First, roll down the window and use a plastic pry tool to carefully lift the interior trim cover from the gap at the mirror's base, revealing the hidden mounting screw. Loosen the screw with a Phillips screwdriver, then gently pull the mirror outward—be cautious not to yank the wiring harness! Disconnect the power plug first before fully removing the mirror. Installing the new mirror is the reverse process, but always test the mirror adjustment function afterward; otherwise, you'll need to reinstall it. Take your time during the process—the clips are extremely fragile. Breaking one means replacing the entire door panel trim, which would be a huge loss. For tools, just a screwdriver and pry tool are sufficient.
