How to Remove a 1999 Acura RL Mirror

The Acura RL is a full-size luxury car that has been in production since 1996, with the first generation including model years 1996 through 2004. Power side mirrors are a standard feature on the Acura RL, and the procedure for removing them is the same for both mirrors. The most common reason for removing one of these units is to replace a broken mirror. The primary part of this procedure is removing the interior door panel.

Instructions

1

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench to prevent a short circuit or electrical shock during the procedure. Detach the delta cover for the mirror mount from the door panel and remove the retaining screw under the cover.

2

Pop out the caps covering the retaining screws on the armrest with a trim remover, and remove the screws from the armrest with a socket wrench. Detach the armrest from the door.

3

Remove the retaining screw for the cover surrounding the inner door handle using a socket wrench. Detach the cover from the door handle. Insert a door handle removal tool between the handle and door panel. Push the tool against the spring clip to free the handle from the door panel.

4

Pry off the panel plastic inserts from the door using a trim removal tool. Lift the panel up to detach its lip from the top of the door, using a gentle up and down motion if necessary. Disconnect all electrical wiring behind the door panel, and remove the panel from the door.

5

Squeeze the connectors together to release the wiring harness from the outside mirror assembly. Disconnect the three retaining screws from the mirror assembly with a socket wrench, and remove the mirror from the vehicle.
