If you’re like most drivers, you probably rely on your side view mirror to keep an eye on traffic in the rearview mirror. And if something were to happen to the mirror, you would be out of luck – at least until you could afford to replace it.

Here are four steps to replacing your side view mirror: 1. Locate the side view mirror cover on your car. It will likely be attached by screws or clips. Remove the screws or clips and set the cover aside. 2. Locate the mirror itself. It may be held in place by clips or screws, so take care when removing it. Once it’s free, set it aside. 3.

You will also need screws, washers, and a nut or bolt to secure the mirror to the vehicle frame. 4. Install the new mirror and reverse
