Can You Replace Exterior Mirrors Yourself?

Swapping out exterior mirrors may sound tricky, but it’s actually a manageable DIY task. With basic tools and a little care, you can restore clear rear visibility and freshen up your Dodge’s exterior without paying a shop for labor. Here's how to do it yourself.

Replacing Damaged Mirrors in Your Dodge Durango

1. Disconnect the Battery

Start by removing the negative battery cable to avoid short circuits when handling the electrical connectors inside the door.

2. Remove the Interior Door Panel

Gently pry off the trim and unscrew fasteners to detach the interior panel and access the mirror mounting area.

3. Unplug the Electrical Connector

Carefully disconnect the power mirror wiring harness before loosening any bolts that hold the mirror in place.

4. Remove the Damaged Mirror

Unscrew the mounting bolts and pull the old mirror away from the door frame of your Dodge Durango.

5. Install the New Mirror

Align the new mirror, secure it with the original bolts, and reconnect the wiring harness properly.

6. Reattach the Door Panel

Snap the door panel and trim pieces back into place, ensuring all clips and screws are tightened.

7. Reconnect the Battery and Test

Restore the battery connection and verify that the new mirror adjusts and heats correctly, if applicable.
