Ibiza MK4 driver door mirror replace

[AmitK]

Hello all!

Unfortunately someone decided to break my driver side mirror at my Seat Ibiza 2012 (I believe it called the MK4 model).
I bought a new mirror and it looked like I needed to dissasemble the door to install it.
Only, I couldn't remove the door internal panel.

When I looked through this forum (absolutely amazing btw...) I found this great guide:
"Removing MK5 Ibiza front door trim"

BUT, I also found a comment about maybe not having to take off the door panel at all in order to replace the mirror....

So, can any of you experts here please try to explain to a beginner seat user how can I fix my beautiful car?

My mirror are not the automatically folding ones.
Setting the mirror's angle is controlled electrically though.

Thanks ALOT!
Amit.

Problem solved.

Hey,

I found out how to replace the mirror.
When you fold your mirror towards your window - you will see an opening in the rubber gasket located on the top plane. In that opening you'll find a Torx 45 bolt that will dissasemble the old mirror from the door. Then, you can fit the new mirror and retorque that bolt.
DONE.

I have a picture that shows the whole process, but I can't find a way to upload a picture to the forum...

Thanks!
Amit.
