Wow. So amazing!!

My sons jetta was in a hit an run by a Dodge 4x4 up in Canada. The mirror got knocked off, and the plastic surrounding the "triple square" bolt was broken off. Since it was a Sunday, I could not get access to a used replacement driver mirror.

Thanks to this amazing video, I was able to get it apart, use a two part epoxy to re glue the housing, bolt it all back together, and it's like new!! Just a few bucks to get some of the tools you mentioned.

Thanks for taking the time to post such a thoughtful helpful video. So grateful.

“This is what the tool looks like right here. You need a size 8” size 8 of what? Lol what’s the name of this bit? Kind of important

[dougkirby]

Help with the name of the "Special" size 8 bit for the mirror screw.

any chance of covering 2019+? I can't find a video anywhere

[Jdjsksjdhdj]

I took off the corner clips and that's it.

[masonhamlin]

Seriously. How can we “do it ourselves”? If we don’t know what the special tool is or where to find it?

[ryangray]

Anyone else unable to get the plastic panel in the door pocket bent out to remove the last bolt?

[llllll-uxlz]

Someone took my mirror just the glass part and swapped it for their broken burned one.

The last torque screw holding in the mirror assembly is a T40. Not a T8. A T8 is really small.
