Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Hi, everyone. Sue here at 1A Auto. Today on our '06 Honda Element, I'm going to be changing out this driver's side mirror. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com
First thing you want to do is open the door and access this cover panel behind the mirror. It's just pushed on with push-pins, so you're just going to grab it firmly and pull. Then we have three mounting nuts. That's an 8mm nut and then the electrical connector, which has the prong on it. It's actually on the bottom. You got to push on that tab and pull out the electrical connector.
8mm socket. I'm going to spend the three mounting nuts out. Previously, I have the window down as you can tell for a reason, because that way I like to use my arm to hold it out there to get it secure. I like to take the last bolt for the top off because that's where the gravity point is.
Now, loosen up the top one. Take it off with my hand, and I grab this mirror in order to pull it right up. Here we have our new side mirror from 1A Auto and we have the factory side mirror for this '06 Honda Element. They have the same rubber seal for the weather seal, electrical connecting and three mounting studs, and the glass. Nice new glass. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.
Now we're going to install the new mirror. I'm going to reposition myself the way it was. I've got the new mirror, and I'm going to line up the three mounting holes and put the studs right through.
As you can see, the studs don't come all the way through. That's because the new rubber seal also hasn't been squished and set into place. You're going to have to push it as hard as you can. Start the mounting nuts on all three studs.
Actually, I'm going to probably use my socket and pull it through for the last one so I can get that last stud ready to go. Now, I can better put that one on my socket and start it. I don't want to drop it. It's kind of a feel thing and a visual. You can run your hand on the outside body and feel it snug.
The gasket bottom is right out. Double check. Perfect. Now we just plug the new mirror into the socket. Into the harness I mean. Snap it in. Take out trim piece. You get two hooks in the bottom and a snap ring on the top. You put the two hook lines up, and we're done. I'm going to switch my mirror control over to left, and I'm pressing the buttons. Up works. Down works. In and out. Look at that. It's a pretty nice mirror.
Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1aauto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping and the best customer service in the industry.

Easy pray!! Works a fits exactly, except for the connector - it's upside down, so you'll have to pull the wires and harness a bit to match.
Fits as advertised. Plug and play. Good videos online to show how to do the simple replacement.
Needed a OME part for my 2006 Honda Element. Found it on 1AAuto. . .they referred me to their video of how to replace the part. I ordered the part. It came a day ahead of their expected delivery, in tact, and a perfect match to original. Following the video, I removed to old, installed, the new, and was up and running in 5 minutes. Easy, accurate, and perfect!!! Thanks 1AAuto. My car is new again.
First timer purchasing replacement parts for my Honda Element. The build quality of their replacement side mirror was excellent. Easy ordering, fast shipping and the part fit perfectly. I will order from 1A Auto again!
Purchased the mirror from 1A auto , everything was just as they described it , it fit perfectly . Arrived at my porch on time & in excellent condition & could not beat the price !!!
Perfect fit and easy install. Also about $50 cheaper than anywhere else I looked. What more could you ask for. This product was installed on a 2007 Honda Element.
The website was very easy to search for parts and find what I was looking for. The part arrived quickly and it was a fraction of the cost that the dealership quoted me. I'm very happy with my purchase and will continue to order from this store
Arrived promptly in perfect condition. Installed DIY. Suggest 3 8m nuts be included in case nuts fall into door.
Price was inexpensive for the part. Easy installation and looks great.
