Hi all,

Recently broken my wing mirror accidentally by motorcycle.

Attempting to replace it ownself but can't find any useful guide. Can anyone enlighten whether any video guide or tutorial on this ?

Thanks for providing such a useful link with tutorial. However, since I am just need to replace the wing mirror, hence I reckon there's not necessary to remove the entire door trimboard instead of just remove the triangle plastic cover in order to unscrew? Please correct me if I was wrong.

I believe you will need to remove the whole card - but my only advice is to remove the plastic part first and see how it goes and if need be refer back to this.

You will need to remove the whole door card. The screw for the plastic triangle is hidden when the door card is in place :-(.

Replacement had been done by the service centre which removing the door card is deemed necessary.

And for now, I wish to replace the puddle light with a LED and removing the mirror glass has to be done in order to access the puddle lamp adaptor.

Need guidance on how to take off the mirror glass safety.
