Wrangler Rearview Mirror Removal and Installation? The method for removing and installing the Wrangler rearview mirror is as follows: 1. Press the head of the mirror with your hand to lift the tail. 2. Grab the tail with your hand and pull it outward forcefully to remove the mirror. 3. There are also screws at the bottom of the rearview mirror that need to be unscrewed. 4. After unscrewing, the middle component can be removed. 5. The rearview mirror removal is basically completed. More information about the Wrangler is as follows: 1. The Wrangler offers two engine options: a 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine and a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine. 2. The 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine delivers a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 460 Nm; the 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine has an upgraded maximum output of 280 horsepower and a peak torque of 347 Nm.
Removing the Wrangler's rearview mirror isn't difficult—I've done it several times. Just prepare tools like a screwdriver or hex key. The location is at the top of the windshield; gently pry off the cover to expose the mounting screws. Slowly remove the screws, being careful not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the glass surface. If there are wiring connections (such as in higher trim models with anti-glare or cameras), disconnect the vehicle power first to prevent short circuits. After removing the old mirror, clean the mounting area thoroughly. During installation, align the position and slowly tighten the screws, then test for stability and viewing angle. A shaking rearview mirror while driving can compromise safety. After finishing, perform simple road tests, such as checking if the reversing view is clear. Upgrading to a smart rearview mirror requires additional wiring steps. Remember, gentle handling is key to preventing extra damage.
