Outer Mirror Assembly: Removal

Refer to "DISASSEMBLY" for removal procedures of scalp cap and mirror face. Refer to GLASS/WINDOWS/MIRRORS>OUTER MIRROR ASSEMBLY>DISASSEMBLY .

1. Disconnect the ground terminal from battery and wait for at least 60 seconds before starting work. Refer to REPAIR CONTENTS>REPAIR CONTENTS>NOTE>BATTERY>GROUND TERMINAL REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION .
2. Remove the trim panel - front door. Refer to EXTERIOR/INTERIOR TRIM>DOOR TRIM>REMOVAL>FRONT DOOR .
3. Turn over the front sealing cover.
   CAUTION:

   • Carefully remove the butyl tape. Excessive force will easily break the front sealing cover.
   • If the front sealing cover gets broken, replace it with a new part.
   • Be careful not to allow the butyl tape to contact any trims and seats because the butyl tape, which has a strong adhesive force, is difficult to remove once it adhered.
