In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a rear view mirror on this 2003 Volkswagen Passat Wagon. Pretty easy procedure. You need a Phillips screwdriver, a T25 Torx driver, and a T45 Torx driver.
Okay, on this door pull right back here, there's a piece, you kind of squeeze it and pull it back and out. Now, you just grab this and firmly try to work your fingernails under, pull it up and then disconnect your window switch right here. Now there are three Phillips screws to remove. One there and one there and there should be one there but it looks like somebody has taken it out and didn't put it back in. Underneath there's a couple of T25 Torx screws. You can see one right under there and again, there should be on right up under there but it's been removed. I'm going to fast forward as I remove those five. Well, in this car's case, it's only three screws but there should be five screws; the three Phillips and those screws are kind of a silver gold color. You're not removing the black ones from the door panel and then underneath the T25 Torx screws that hold the bottom of the panel to the door.
Once you have those screws out, you actually each kind of pull the bottom a little bit and then work your way around. It just needs to be released and lift the panel up. Once the panel gave away, there's a few things that needs to be done. Be very careful not to pull out too far your cable here. You should be able to pry it up and pull it out. This is going to part a couple of times so the cable is actually is kind of stuck in here. I can probably show you this afterwards. Get the cable out and then unhook that cable. There's a little connector here for your door lock an alarm and then you see the connector here for your door locks, push the tab down, disconnect that and down here, this connector is for your gas door and your other latch and then here is a connector for your courtesy light. All just have little tabs that you push on and disconnect and the panel comes off.
Just a close up on this cable. This is actually, this part is broken right here online because what happens it gets pulled out and then this gets broken, but you should pull it out a little bit, pull out a little bit then reach in here. Pull this part up and slide the cable back and then unhook this.
The mirror, you can carefully pull out. There are two pins here, pull it out and there's a third pin up here. You can just let that hanging down and then you follow this down and you can see your mirror connection, press the little tab right there. Let's have it on that side, disconnect. To remove your broken mirror, you need a T45 Torx driver. Once the bolts out pull the mirror right up and out. As you can see, my original mirror is in fine shape, so I'm going to reinstall it. The mirrors from 1A Auto we sell them. They usually just come in black. Obviously, you can install a black mirror and it's going to fix the problem if you have a broken one. The other thing you can do is if you want to paint it with the match your vehicle, what you want to do is go to a automotive part store in the Paint Department. They can help you match your paint color and put some paint in an air-charged spray can. You can finish it yourself and re-install it. Just to see how it's finished. You would want to tape off these black parts and then repaint it. As I said, a lot of these times, you probably just want to put the black one back on just to fix the issue and the mirrors from 1A Auto, they have the same plugs and everything. Again, mine is in fine shape so we're going to reinstall my original. Put that right through. Always from this inside, make sure your mirror is going on where you want it. You want this part of the mirror to kind of go underneath the strips. You push it in there and make sure it's all the way down underneath. Put our bolt in. Just fast forward as we put the bolt in and then tighten it up nice and firm. Bring our, this really shouldn't be locked right in there like that. Bring it down around. Plug it in. Reconnect it and then snap it back in place.
To reinstall, what we're going to do is way down here plug in our courtesy light first. Kind of figure out, this brown one, this is the power windows. These two go to our switches down here. This one comes all the way up to our power door lock, actually that's our mirror switch. That one and we just want to make sure it goes up here. This one comes in and it goes right here. What we want to do is to take our door latch cable and hook it in to the latch first and then you can pull this out and bring it around, get the cable into the slot, pull the cable into the slot and then push this in and lock in place. Okay, it seemed hard but it's easier to do when you're working on it. Put the door lock on there and hang the panel up and it goes the whole. The top of it goes into a slot in the weather strip here. Push it down on. I'll fast forward here as I tighten up the three Phillips screws. It should be in behind that door pull and the two T25 Torx screws that are underneath. Okay, reinstall the switch panel. Make sure it goes back down on. Then we'll put our locking panel back on.

Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, I'm going to show you mirror replacement on this 2001 VW Passat. The mirror fits 99-04, although the removal of the door panel for 01-04 may be a little different. The tools that you're going to need are pretty basic: flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, you will need a T25 Torx driver as well as a T47 Torx driver. You want to start by using a screwdriver. There's a little inner panel on your door pull and you pry that out right in the middle and then take it out carefully. Now use your flat blade screwdriver and pry in the back. There are clips all around the edge of that panel so you just kind of pull it up, takes a firm pull but it comes right out. Then on the bottom side there is a connector, just press a tab and pull the connector free. Where you removed that panel from, there are 3 Phillips screws that hold the panel to the door. Then underneath there are two T25 screws that hold the panel to the door.
Fast-forward here as I remove those 3 screws. Be careful not to drop them, you might use a magnet to pull them out of the little caverns they're in. Then remove the screws from down in the bottom. Okay, now that it's unscrewed, either a putty knife or a door panel clip tool, pull the bottom out some, put your knife in and pull until it stops and then pull and go till it stops again ... pull ... okay. Same thing for the backside. Now with those clips released, pull the panel out and then up. Okay, to disconnect the door handle, pull the door handle out a little bit like you're opening the door and then push this hook up through and then it should slide right out. After your door handle is disconnected then there's a series of harnesses. They all just have little tabs that you push down and pull the connector out. It hard to video any of them. The only difference is the courtesy light at the bottom of the door has kind of little ears that you need to pry out with a screwdriver and pull them down. All these different connectors just have tabs, either push or the courtesy light you need to pry up on these tabs to pull it out. All these connections just have tabs that push. Okay, to get to your mirror... oops... pull it off. It's okay to let that hang. Okay, our mirror comes down right around here.
There's two tabs, squeeze and disconnect it ... Pull that out and it's a T47 Torx bit ...Okay, as you can see, I stood up to get a little extra leverage. I'm going to speed up as I remove that screw. Okay, the mirror comes out, feed the harness out carefully. Here's my original mirror, a little dirty. New mirror from 1A Auto. You can see it's shaped the same, it's going to mount the same. It come molded in black. If you just need a functional replacement, you can obviously replace it as is. If you wanted to paint it to match your vehicle, you can do something as crude as just getting some paint that matches from the hardware store and paint it that way. If you want a more exact match, take your vehicle to an automotive parts store that has a paint department. They can usually match the paint, put it in an air-charged can, you can finish your mirror yourself and then install it. Just to show you, installation of the 1A mirror is the exact same ... you're going to feed your protector through sideways, put it down in ...Freeze it here for a minute, one note, I did it, but I didn't really say anything about it.
When you put the mirror in, you kind of feed the top portion underneath the weather strip and then feed it into the holes. Just a note as you're installing. Make sure it comes through correctly. Okay, just speed it up here as I thread in and then tighten that bolt up. You want to tighten it nice and firm, you don't have to over tighten it though. Bring this right back down and around ... up and through ... okay, put your panel back in for speaker. Okay your locks, it's probably easiest to bring it just like this so you can see in here pretty well. Put everything in the right spot. Clip your light. Rotate it up, make sure that goes up into there, pull it through. Connect this there. This here and then put your door cable in ... okay put the hook into the door handle and pull it back and push it back into place. Okay, push your panel closer and put your lock on up through. Again, make sure you have the power window and lock harness. Push your panel and lock the top on. Okay, speed it up substantially. Pop all your clips back into the door and then put the 2 lower screws back in. I found it easiest just to actually get right down there so you can see. Put them in and then put your 3 Phillips screws in that hold the middle of the panel. Put our switch. Put it down into place. Make sure you lock it in there well and put our...
