Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the power side mirror from this 2002 Volvo V70. The only tools required is a flat blade screwdriver, T-25 driver, and a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet.

To start off, just remove that triangular panel. Just pry it out with a flat blade screwdriver. Then what you want to do is you want to do the same thing to the door pull handle. Just pry that top panel off of it. In the door handle, there are two T-25 bolts and we'll just fast forward as he removes those.

Lining the outside of the door, there are these clips. What you want to do is take a flat blade screwdriver, a small one, and just put it on the center of them. You can also use a punch tool and you just want to punch the center in, and then the clips just pry out and we'll fast forward as he does the clips all the way around the door panel. Now you want to just lift the door panel up and over the lock, pull it out, and on the back of the door panel, there's a clip up at the top. You just want to separate the two sides and pull the clip out. Then you want to disconnect the harness by pushing on the tab and pulling out, and then there's two more harnesses on the lower part of the door panel. Again, just push the clip and pull them right out. Next what you want to do is disconnect your power mirror harness, just push the tab and pull it apart. Then you want to remove the 13 millimeter bolt holding the mirror in place. Now the mirror pulls right off.

To reinstall the mirror, just run the harness back through that rectangular hole there, line the mirror up, push it into place, then we'll fast forward as he replaces that 13 millimeter nut and reconnects the power mirrors. To reinstall your door panel, you want to just put your door handle wire back into place, just clips right in. Reconnect the upper harness, and then reconnect the lower wire harnesses for your window switches. Now line your door panel up, put it down over the lock and push it into place. Next what you want to do is just push those clips back into place, the outside first, then the center. We'll just fast forward as he pushes in the rest of those clips. We'll continue to fast forward as he replaces those two T-25 bolts and replaces the door handle panel and the triangular panel at the top of the door.
