Mirror and Switch Installation

1. Using a soft pry tool remove the trim panel
on the driver side door handle.

2. Remove 2 T-30 torx screws.

3. On the bottom of the door panel, rotate the

locking clip vertical.

4. Grasp the bottom of the door panel and

pull toward you. The panel is attached with
strong plastic clips so this may take some
effort.

5. Once the clips have been released, pull

the door panel upwards. This will release the
last clip and allow the panel to separate from
the door.

6. Unplug the connector for the power

mirrors and door locks on the back of the
door panel.

7. Using a soft pry tool remove the factory

power mirror switch.

8. Remove the lock button by prying on both

sides to release the locking mechanism.
9. Install the lock button into the new mirror

switch. Make sure both sides of the button
are locked into place. Reinstall the mirror
switch to the door panel snapping the side
closest to the door handle in place first.

10. Unplug the connector for the factory

mirror. The red locking clip will need to be
pulled out before the connector can be
released.

11. Remove the door module from door

panel by pushing the bottom tab up and then
lifting the module out.

module.

portion of the mirror.

place. Reinstall the T-15 screws.

the other mirror.
