Model/Year: CX-5 2024
I cracked one of my side mirrors the other day. Just the mirror. I brought it to the dealer. They initially said the entire mechanism needed to be replaced. When I mentioned that only the mirror needed to be replaced, they quoted $250 for the mirror plus $230/hour for the labor. They couldn't tell me how long it would take. I checked Mazaparts.com, and the mirror was selling for $100. I was actually able to find an aftermarket mirror for $30 on eBay. Fits perfectly. Why are some dealerships such crooks?
Alright. My issue is installing the new mirror. I watched a few YouTube videos, and all you have to do is push the mirror into 3 knobs that stick out. You have to push really hard, but I'm able to push the mirror into the center knob.
However, there are 2 white servos (Pin B in the picture below) that I also need to connect to. They control the mirror angle, but I can't snap the mirror to them. Whenever I put some pressure on them, these white servos get pushed down. I'll use the mirror controls inside the car to bring the white servos come out again, but whenever I put a decent amount of pressure on them, they snap back down.
Is there a trick to how snap the mirror back on?
