Rear View Mirror – How to replace the glass Video
If you closely at your rearview mirror you may see unsightly dark spots or black edges. This is the effect of excess moisture entering the layer between the silver and the backing. This causes the bond to break and the silvering to chip off behind the glass and oxidise. There is a way to solve this by replacing the mirror.
As the whole unit is unavailable from Nissan, club founder Kevin takes you through the process of replacing the mirror insert. This involves removing the mirror assembly from the car, taking the mirror out, replacing it with a brand new one available from The Figaro Shop and re-installing the whole unit back into the car.
Note: The original mirror glass is manufactured in a wedge form. The new glass is not a wedge so the high beam anti-dazzle feature will not work as it did before. This is not a major issue and is designed this way to make this an affordable component.
