Fitting the new mirror

Clip the mirror to the screen. Next, feed the power cable from the mirror up past the rain sensor and then into the headlining to appear by the ambient light. Wire the cable into the ambient light cables. I used scotch locks as this was the easiest option.

Turn on the side lights and test the mirror is working before tidying the cables and refitting the plastics.

Not bad for £20 and a few hours work I think. I hope you find this guide useful
