Replacing the exterior rearview mirror on a Chevrolet Captiva Sport involves several steps but can be done with some basic tools and mechanical know-how. First, you'll need to acquire the replacement mirror assembly compatible with your Captiva Sport model. Make sure to double-check the specifications to ensure a proper fit.
Next, start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the car battery to prevent any electrical mishaps during the replacement process. Then, locate the screws or bolts holding the old mirror in place. These are usually hidden under a plastic cover on the inside of the door. Carefully remove the cover and unscrew the fasteners holding the mirror.
Old mirror is removed, disconnect any electrical connectors if your Captiva Sport has power mirrors. Install the new mirror assembly by reversing the removal steps, ensuring a snug fit and securely fastening all screws or bolts. Finally, reconnect the car battery and test the new mirror to ensure proper functionality. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic for assistance.
