Okay… so how hard is it to replace the passenger side (RH) mirror on my 2004 Mazda 3i. I found one inexpensive on eBay (has anyone ever bought car part(s) from eBay?)and wanted to know how time consuming it would be and how difficult it would be to replace the mirror that some moron knock off because they drove to close to my car – and never stopped.

 

Replacing the entire housing should take you maybe five minutes.

-Open the door
-grab the triangular panel opposite the mirror housing (where the tweeter is if you have it) and pull in and down to remove it
-Unplug the wiring harness connector
-remove three bolts..... 8mm I think. Support the mirror housing as it may come loose with the bolts removed
-remove housing
-reinstall new housing in reverse order.

I have pictures from my heated mirror install if that will help you out.

 

If you have photo that would be great!!!!

 

Here you go.
