Mirror glass
Note. The glass is snapped into the frame by means of latches and can easily crack if the procedure is not carried out carefully.
1. Tilt the mirror glass all the way up, then slide a plastic or wooden wedge between the base of the glass and the frame cover and gently pry the glass away from the drive motor/controller.
2. Remove the glass from the frame and disconnect the electrical wiring from the heating element.
3. When installing, do not forget to connect the electrical wiring and make sure that the glass snaps into place on the electric motor / regulator (apply force only to the central part of the glass in order to minimize accidental damage to the latter). After making sure that the glass is securely fixed, adjust the mirrors, bringing it to the working position.
