Acura RSX Heated Mirror Installation Instructions

Acura RSX Heated Mirror Installation Instructions - Dissassembly: OK so let’s get started: It’s best if you have the Helms manual but you can do without it if you have done other similar installs on this or other cars. 2. Remove the door panel: a. You will need to remove the door handle assembly. Pop off the plastic cover behind the handle and you will find 2 screws.

Once you undo the screws you can pull the assembly out. Remove the lock cable from the door handle. b. Then unplug the connector. There is one more screw you will need to find once you remove the handle assembly. Remove this screw too. Every time I did this, the screw fell into the plastic door panel handle cavity so I had to retrieve this screw after the door panel came off by turning the panel upside down. Next remove the 2 screws under the armrest. c. Remove the black plastic trim piece on the inside of the door opposite the mirror. Roll the window down and pop the piece up and inward using a little upward pressure. A screwdriver taped so it would not mark or scratch anything works best. d. Now you are ready to remove the door panel.

To do this it is best to use a door trim tool. You can pick one up at your local auto store. This is used to remove the 8 clips that hold the plastic panel to the sheet metal. e. In order to completely remove the panel, unplug the connector for the window switch. 3. Remove the mirror assembly: Note it is possible to skip this step and work on the mirror while attached to the car a. Unscrew the three 8 mm nuts holding the mirror to the inside of the window. b. Unplug the mirror connector and take the mirror assembly totally off 4. Remove the glass mirror element from the assembly: a. Gently push the top of the mirror in as far as it will go. This will create a small space between the bottom of the mirror and the housing. Use mostly just your fingers for this.

 I also used a hair dryer and an assistant to heat the mirror (don’t over do it) while pulling the mirror with the black plastic holder from the white plastic actuator. I did use a screwdriver here very delicately to help separate the two items. This was easily accomplished without breaking the old mirror.
