How do you change the passenger side mirror on an Acura TL?
My husband was working on a ladder near my car, and his toolbox fell from the shelf straight onto my side mirror. I’m fairly certain my insurance doesn’t cover damage-by-husbands, so how can I change the passenger side mirror on my Acura TL by myself?

It should only take you about a half-hour to change the passenger side mirror on your
Acura TL
, and all you need is a flathead screwdriver, a socket wrench, and the new mirror. Once you have those, do the following.- Use the screwdriver to pry up the trim on the inside of the mirror and remove it
- Disconnect the electrical harness
- Using the socket wrench, remove the three nuts on the inside of the door
- Pull the old mirror straight off
- Put the new mirror in its place, feeding the bolts through the holes
- Reinstall the three nuts, electrical harness, and trim
That’s it! No promises that it’s husband-proof, but your mirror should be solid now.
