How to Replace a Power Mirror in a Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V makes it simple to replace a power mirror. Most vehicles require a complete door panel removal, but the CR-V has a separate mirror panel that saves time when replacing an old or broken mirror. The CR-V's mirror replacement is the same for all model years.

Instructions

Remove Old Mirror

1

Lower the side window of your CR-V all the way down, then disconnect the negative battery cable.

2

Unsnap the triangle mirror panel inside the door by prying it off with your hands.

3

Remove the bolts that hold the mirror in place using a screwdriver and wrench.

4

Unplug the electric connector to the mirror. Take the mirror completely out of the assembly.

Install New Mirror

5

Place the new Honda CR-V mirror into place. Attach the mounting bolts that holds it to the door.

6

Re-connect the power wire by snapping the new connector into the power source.

7

Put the interior mirror cover (the triangle piece) into place by pushing it back in until it snaps.

8

Connect the negative battery cable as your last step. Test the mirror to make sure it works.
