How to Replace a Mercedes 039 Side
1. Remove the screws holding the front frame over the front of the mirror glass housing using a screwdriver. Set the screws aside. Carefully pull the mirror frame away from the rest of the mirror housing.
2. Put on thick work gloves to protect your fingers. Remove any broken shards of mirror, and throw them away.
3. Heat the surface of the glass with a heat gun to loosen the glue holding the remainder of the mirror in place. Pry the glass away from the mirror housing with a putty knife.
4. Apply adhesive remover to the adhesive still present in the mirror housing. Allow the adhesive to sit for about three minutes. This will eat away the remaining glue and make it easy to remove. Wipe the adhesive away with a soft cloth.
5. Apply a line of silicone adhesive to the mirror housing frame surrounding the interior of the mirror housing. Press the replacement glass inside the frame. Hold the glass against the frame with your hands.
6. Tape the mirror in place with electrical tape. Wrap the tape around the entire mirror housing several times for stability.
7. Replace the exterior frame over the mirror glass. Screw the frame into place. Leave the tape around the mirror housing for 24 hours while the glue dries completely. Remove the tape after 24 hours. If necessary, unscrew the top mirror frame to remove all tape pieces.
