Installation Guide (Left Wing Mirror)

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and ensure the vehicle’s engine is off. If necessary, lift the front left corner of the car using a jack and secure it with jack stands for better access.
2. Remove Existing Cover (if applicable): Use a flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool to gently pry away any existing cover or protective film from the mirror housing. Avoid scratching the paint.
3. Clean the Surface: Wipe the mirror housing with a microfiber cloth and mild automotive cleaner to remove dust, grime, and old adhesive residue.
4. Position the New Cover: Align the Van Wezel 1779841 cover with the mounting points on the mirror housing. The cover should sit flush against the vehicle’s body without protruding or leaving gaps.
5. Secure the Cover: Press firmly until you feel a click, indicating that the snap‑in mechanism has engaged. Verify that the cover is fully seated and that no part of it is loose.
6. Check for Proper Fit: Inspect the edges to ensure there are no visible seams or misalignments. The cover should appear as a single, seamless extension of the vehicle’s exterior.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the mirror cover for signs of wear, such as cracks or discoloration. Replace promptly if any damage is detected to maintain optimal protection.
• Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the polymer material; use mild soap and water for routine cleaning.
• When washing the vehicle, direct high‑pressure water away from the mirror area to prevent moisture from seeping into the housing.
