- A simple shortcut to replace a damaged Altima side-view mirrors: 2013-2018. *Model years 2002-2012 will have the same entry point, but the harness connector will be easier to reach.
*Tools used: (1) 3/8 in socket wrench, 3/8 10 mm deep socket, and flathead screwdriver or flat plastic pry tool.
Update: I just followed these exact instructions for my 14 Altima, and it took me 10 minutes. Great video and thanks. 10mm socket. I bought my side mirror from Amazon for $62 and saved me $740 that the dealership was going to charge.
Glad you got it done and saved time and money. $740 for a side mirror should be criminal.
I usually get my parts from Amazon or Ebay for a fraction of the dealer price
This is my first car project I’ve never worked on a car before and I’m really tired of bringing my car into the shop for simple stuff I can do myself. Couldn’t get any better or easier for a first time car project!
742 for a side mirror. What a ripoff.
Nissan quoted me the same now here I am watching this video 😂
Update: this took me 5 minutes... and saved me $400. Thanks again!
Awesome! Can I borrow $10? LOL
You hit the nail on the head bruh, 3 minutes total with about 5 sips of coffee. Thank you.
Why his voice so soothing wtf he sound smooth af lol
Hey- Thanks for the compliment...you're beautiful.
Wife hit a parked car and I saved hundreds of dollars because of this video. Got my mirror off of Ebay motors. Thank you so much!
Same here!!!
@@markbala24same here 🤦🏽♂️ 😂
Dude. I saw the video where the guy took the whole door panel off and was pretty intimidated. I saw this video and homerun bro. Literally took me 7 minutes. Thank you Jack!!!
Happy to help!!!
Halfway through his video I see yours. Oh well
This is GREAT. The dealership wanted $400-500 to do this... I bought my part for about $100 and am about to install it. Thanks for this public service video; very kind of you!
3 years later, and it still works. Thanks for the great quick informative video
Great video. I just replaced my mirror. It took me just a few minutes. I paid for the replacement mirror. I was about to take it to the mechanic to replace the mirror. Watch the video and did it myself instead. Very easy. Thank you for the great help. And for saving me some money by doing it myself.
Yessir!...Glad you found it just in time and saved that money. Now...could you loan a brother $5? JK- lovin the great feedback from all my viewers.
It’s definitely going to save me money. My mirror has been cracked for 10 years. Thank you for your video! 👏🏾
Oh no, not 10 years- glad to help.
Tried this on my 17 Altima tonight & it came out perfect! Saved me time & money. Thank you!
Love it! Time & Money
Thanks, mate. I have just replaced the right side mirrors only for Nissan daulis2 2013, not all things, and it's so easy to do so. May God continue to bless you abundantly, man.
I will be giving this a try tomorrow! The mechanic wanted $400 for this 😅 thank you for the video
Happy to help!
Thank you for this simple but yet very powerful technique, I will try on my altima
Glad to help!
Practiced at the junk yard today. It is very easy. I used a pry tool forthe tabs on the black triangle. Way easier than i thought it would be.
Boom!
Just tried your tip on replacing my drivers side view mirror in my 2013 Altima Coup and it was 1..2..3.. done!
Thanks so much 🎉
You're welcome!
Genius! I’m so glad I found your video before I removed the entire door panel!!!
I appreciate these wonderful comments
Doing this as soon as my mirror comes in the mail!!
Did this on my Nissan Altima 2012 Thanks allot for this shortcut! The last guy took my whole side panel off, appreciate you 🙌🏾
Awesome!
Works for 2017 Altima. Straight to the point video
I replaced my own mirror. Thank you so much!!
Love it!
That’s a fact. I’ve seen a few of these other videos and they do take off the whole door panel I was like come on there has to be an easier way. Thank you for the video.
Glad to help
Thanks to your video I changed my side mirror in I think less then 5 minutes.
Really awesome. Turning big ones into small ones. Thanks much
On my way to work this morning I got side clipped and this was the exact video I needed. Like you said a lot of unnecessary I being put out there. Thank you for being straight to the point without any cuts! 😅😅
Update: 4 days later since I put my mirror on. It was relatively easy except for the nuts on my 2017 Nissan Altima SR were put on soooo tightly that it was almost difficult to take them off. I broke my rotater on my socket because it was so hard to get off. I finally got them off but I did have to unclip the part of the door closest to the inside of the passenger side but that was purely due to how tight the nuts were and not having enough space to really press hard on them. Now that I have the mirror I put on, I shouldn’t have to unclip the door like you said.
Dude... I watched then same video you did where the guy took off the entire door panel and thought there has to be another way! Your video saved me quite a bit of time. Thank you!
Glad to hear it- I'm glad you found me!
You are the man! Did both mirrors in 15 minutes. I put it off for a while because I did not want to take the door panels off. Thank you for sharing your simple method!!!
I'm glad you found this!
I just watched the other guys video before yours. I am so glad I watched your video it will save so much time and money. Daughter went to prom last night and came home with broken mirror.
Worked like a charm. Did it in less than 10 minutes. Great video.
Nice much simpler. I'm thinking of upgrading my mirrors to the ones with the turn signal and this will definitely save me time.
Great! Glad I could help.
Thank you so much for this! I can barely put my own oil in my car, and was able to change my broken mirror in like 5 minutes! Was so excited and proud lol I couldn't of done it without your help!
Awesome video! Great idea to use needle nose pliers to snap the harness back in! Thank you!!
thank you so much for the easy and simple method. it worked great! i just replaced mine following your video and it was perfect. i’m not handy at all but i was able to did it in 10 min. you saved me a lot of money. you and the video are totally awesome!
Great video, fixed my car myself
Awsome vid! Now Im gonna change the side mirror myself 🤗❤️
Worked great I was dreading having to take off the whole door but this solution was easy and took 10 minutes
Exactly what I was needing.
Less than 10 minutes- job done.
Happy to help!
I just followed the instructions took me 4 minutes. Easy great instructions
Awesome!
Thanks a lot. less than $60 in total cost. You Da Man
Glad to help!
thank you thank you thank you! I was dreading doing it myself until I watched this video! super easy and fast!
Thanks. I'll give your version a try when my mirror comes in next week
You saved me so much money. Thank you 🙏🏾
This is like getting car repair advice from Mark Wahlberg
Not Mark Wahlberg, lol
This videos great. I just got my driver side mirror in the mail today. Tommarrow I'm Gona save some money by putting it on myself. Thanks!
Thank you!
This worked for me as well. Very simple, and the main trouble I had was I did it at night and not in the best lighting. But still very pleased. Note: I rolled my window down while doing this, and now my window is a little wonky. Nothing major, but 8t definitely seats not as good as it did before, so probably best to leave the window up if you can.
Good advice. I was thinking of doing the same
Thanks man! It works unlike other vid tells to you take your whole door out. Appreciated!
If you was talking about the guy doing the white Altima,it was because the female plug was further down in the door panel for a 2013_2016. Older models are up further.Thanks for video 👍🏾
I have a 2013 Altima Coup and there's 2 plugs. One down in the door and one right on the top coming off the mirror.
Thanks for the quick method, we'll give it a shot and see how it works!
Thank you so much this was simple and easy and most important fast 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I saw the other video first too. I am just glad to run across your video.
I know the video that you are talking about, he really did too much. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Thank you for this video. I got to my car and somewhat had clipped my mirror and left it dangling. I didn't feel like taking it to the dealership and paying a fortune because I knew I can do it myself. thank you for showing me how
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much it’s was really simple and easy 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Man, you just saved me a ton of time. Thanks bro. Excellent video.
Glad to hear it!
This man is gonna save me $800 thank you!!!!
Thank you! Took a bit longer but only because I didn’t have the tools ready lol but I got it done!
Great! Now you have the tools, so your next project should be shorter.
Thank nice instructions. Personable!
It took me longer to watch the video than it did to swap out the mirror assembly. Did the passenger side mirror on a 2012 altima.
Love it!
Great video. Thx.
So clutch thank you bro 🙏
No problem!
Thanks Bruh!! 👏🏽
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for share! 👍
Wonderfull. Thank You for your help.
You are welcome!
Thanks because I'm not paying the dealer all that money to take my car FOR HOURS.😂
Yep! Fire that Stealership- Save time & money!
Easy money 👏🏾
Gonna try this tomorrow on a 17
A (girl) friend of mine just messaged me asking if I could help her with a broken mirror and since I had never replaced a mirror I went looking for a video and this was PERFECT..It's exactly what I thought..Super easy fix and I appreciate that you posted this to confirm what I was thinking..Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks!!!
Thank you
Excellent 👍 Just a question does the plastic part come off the back of the mirror?
Will it work on a 2017 Altima? And what other tool can you use to unscrew?
Thanks
So my drivers side mirror will not move up and down but will traverse left to right . Any idea on what could be wrong or how to take mirror housing apart to investigate the issue?
Hi, sorry for the delay. Did you fix the problem?
Can confirm works on a 2018 Nissan Altima
Does it work with a 2016 Nissan rouge ?
Ty
You're Welcome!
Hit the mirror going round the MickeyD drive thru, was gonna ask a friend to install it for me but this isn't hard at all
🐐
Great job.
Knock the other guy their friend. Totally dig your personality. This vid is "idiot proof".
Problem we had was some lazy good for nuttin homeless idiot bumped into out 2013 Altman r-mirror jaring it whereas it needed tightened. All we wanted was some info on how to get to those 3 nuts.
Go figure! Then we found you.
Again, "IDIOT PROOF".
We subscribed and thank you. Dont change your disposition. Its real, so keep it real!
Thanks. I'm glad to help and appreciate your support.
True the other video is remove whole door panel. 😮
Quick question what is the name of the tool u used to do this?
I used a 3/8 socket wrench and a 3/8 10 mm deep socket
@@imightfixit thank you so much
I gotta 13 I'm boutta see wassup 😂
What tool is that called plz and thank you
A socket wrench and a 10 mm deep socket. You could buy a basic set for as little as $8.
Can anyone recommend a reliable store to order the part from online? A tree limb hit my car on my drive home today and ripped my right mirror off. My dealership quoted me $930 to replace it. Unreal. I was afraid to do this myself if I had to remove the whole panel but with your video, I think I can do it. Thank you!
I usually buy on eBay or Amazon
@@imightfixit Thank you
is it the same for a 2012
Yes, but easier
How about 2017 Altima will it work the same?
Yes
Thank you so much🤙🏾
I just got a quote of $900 between the part and labor at the dealership, I know I can do that myself. What’s the name of that tool that you are using?
Hey there. I'm using a socket wrench and 10mm deep socket
Bro this is real sht
And what if I don’t have that 10 mil tool, what else would I be able to use ?
you could use a 10mm wrench
A ten mm what??
Asap
Yessir!
Nissan wanted to charge $799.16 not including labor 🤣
Criminals!!! I'm so glad you saved a ton of money.
That must be some premium crack their smoking.😳🤣
Right😭 like no I'm about to buy one and put it on my self
@@zhoiramcpherson7112 Where can you buy it at?
@@NateWilliams.. I went to a local auto zone. Just tell them the year make and model and they should be able to look it up.
YRRRUUUUUUUP U THE SHT FOR THIS BRO BRO.... THANKS ,ALL THE WAY FROM PITTSBURGH, PA!!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
