How to Replace Side Mirror Dodge Challenger

This tutorial video demonstrates how to replace a side mirror on a Dodge Challenger. Only basic tools are required although "trim friendly" prying tools are recommended. Difficulty is about intermediate because you have to remove the door panel, use some dexterity in hard to reach places and risk damaging class A surfaces. However with some care and patience it is totally doable. The job shouldn't take more than 2 hours to complete with 2 people. It took me 1.5 hours and we hadn't done it before. It should take you a little longer if you're doing it yourself.

Watching this video has reassured to me why I need to take it over to the dealership for them to replace. Thank you!

This might be the most concise wrenching video I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!

[@djgreeneyes36]

[@ChrisCamaro]

No problem bro. Good luck but it's not too bad so you should be ok.

Thanks, it really helped on my mirror replacement. (PS, had a 69 Chevelle SS back in the day!)

[@ChrisCamaro]

Ik it’s a 2013 but is the removal the same for later models like 2026

[@jamaryfutch6722]

Took me an hour only because I spent 40 minutes looking for tools I had lacked

Do you need some type of glue to put the vapor barrier thing back up?

[@ChrisCamaro]

No, the vapour barrier comes with it's own tar-like adhesive bead. You just have to try your best not to damage it when you take it off. As long as you don't get grass and shit all over it, you can just press it back down onto the sheet metal and it will stick just fine.

What size socket did u have

[@kykypenn]

What size is those hex nut on the mirror

[@ChrisCamaro]

I'm sorry if I didn't mention it in the video but I no longer have access to this vehicle to check. If you have any cheapo socket set though I can guarantee that you won't have a problem. It's not an unusual size.

[@autocad3227]

I use a 5/16

[@ChrisCamaro]

@@autocad3227 Thanks for helping with that. Based on that weird fraction, my guess is it's metric, 8mm.
