Need to replace driver's mirror on a 2008 civic si , how easy is it to pop off door panel

pop plastic panel on inside driver door opposite the mirror you should be able to see small bolts holding the mirror

this is an easy job, alot of these you can pop the cover behind mirror and get the the plug and the bolts that hold the mirror. if not then remove the left top of panel just pull away from the door to get enough room to reach the plug or one of the bolts, if you what to remove the complete panel then remove the door reflector theres a screw behind that remove it, then flathead screw driver use to remove rear truck release bezel and dissconnect switch. next remove lower switch screws and bezel, then push door switch bezel up with screw driver and discconnect know gentle pull on panel to release hold on clips, these clips pop on and off. hope this helps.

Remove the door panel. Mirror is attached near door post usually with just a few screws. Electric screw motor attached to base of mirror. Be careful as mirror pops in and out and it breaks really easy

The trim at the mirror level should do it, I'm not positive, but it is a small, 3 or 4 inch triangle of plastic that will pop off and expose 3 or 4 bolts holding the mirror on. It has a motor in it and wire connector. It is heavy, hang on to it.

remove door panel and unplug the mirror if it is power and unscrew 4 or 3 bolts that hold the mirror remove and put all back to geter the reverse way realy easy

this is a easy fix you need to take off the door panel a few screws and gently pop the panel off and unplug the speaker connection then you will seee to bolts holding the mirror on unscrew those the unplug the power mirror connector and put on new mirror

it s easy just look on panel for caps remove with small scerw driver they should just pop out remove all screws there should be 2 near arm rest area and near handle then there are plastic clips just gently pull on panel near clips when panel is loose disconnect wiring for light or power locks window ect. if u have manual window u need tool to remove window handles

Remove the door panel, one screw at the inside handle and one at the door pull hole, one plastic screw clip under mirror, use universal window crank removal tool to pop out a wire thin horse shoe shaped clip from the window crank if you loose it you can get another at the auto parts store for 50 cents. Gently pry off door panel, gentley pry off inside mirror cover from the top. Remove three screws to remove outside cover, Install mirror using 8mm head size nuts, reinstall.

its easy pop of the cover and there should be 3 bolts 10mm Unbolt and bolt back up / Please rate my rsponse yhank you very much

If you need to replace the entire mirror - it's a little involved. First you need to take the upper extension panel off from behind the mirror (black triangle) - just pull it of starting at the top. It will snap back on later. Next - remove the different screws holding the door panel in place (not the ones behind the mirror yet!) One is under the handle (pull it out and pull out the filler panel - small plastic thing that has a hole to pry it out). Then take off the rear red light - also pops off - and remove that screw. Finally - pick up the rubber filler where your fingers pull the door shut and remove these torx bolts.

Now is the tricky part. Snapp off the entire interior panel. It will pop off - but very difficult. It will sound like it is breaking! Start at the outer bottom corner - and use a door panel remover tool - check Amazon or E-bay - to keep from breaking things. Pull it out from all around the bottom and sides and then lift it up over the door lock. It good to have a friend help here. The panel will still be held on by a cable - that is your door release - leave it alone and let the panel hang by it (or better, put a box under it to rest on).

Now...remove the three bolts holding the mirror on - have a friend help hold the mirror while you do this or it will scratch your new car! Since the inner panel is off - you can also disonnect the mirror plus and remove it. It sounds silly - but the only reason to remove the door panel is to unplug it!

Get you new mirror and reverse the steps.

If you are just replacing the glass (non-heated) - get a replacement from the dealer. Adjust the mirror all the way to the inside and reach behind and pop it off. CAREFUL - put tape over the entire glass as it will likely break even more! Remove your connectors if heated - and replace (and reconnect) with your new glass. It just pops back on!

Replacing glass is easy - just be careful of cheap imitations on e-abay). And never use cheap flat glass on the passenger side! The DOT has special requirements for mirror glass - buy it from gmpartsdirect.com or your local dealer.
