Hi

I have to replace my 2013 Odyssey's passenger side mirror. I already got a replacement mirror - looking for instructions/videos to replace the same.

Any pointers/help is much appreciated. Thanks.

 

I don't have a 2013 Odyssey, but mirror replacement is considered to be relatively easy. Below is a general instruction which should work for 90% of vehicles. I assumed that you have electric/power mirror. you will likely need a small size ratchet with 8 or 10 mm socket, a Phillips screwdriver, and a flat tip screwdriver


1. Roll down your windows(optional) and open the passenger (or RH) door.
2. Pry out the plastic triangle shape cover using a prying tool. You should now see 3 to 4 bolts or nuts holding your mirror to the car. If you have a manual mirror, simply remove the bolts/nuts and take out the mirror
3. But, you more than likely have a power mirror so don't take out the bolts/nuts yet. Instead, you must now move to the next step to remove your inside door handle bezel. Unless Honda changed it on your model year, the following procedure to remove the bezel is almost universal on all honda vehicles.
4. Pry up a small plastic cover and remove the Phillips screw. Gently slide the bezel forward (toward front of the car) to dislodge the bezel from its anchor point in the back. Slightly Pull the bezel toward you to create some room in the back of the bezel to work with. Use your flat tip screwdriver to unclip the small plastic locking tab and turn it 90 degree clockwise from the locking rod. Lift up the locking rod to remove it from the back of the bezel. Next, disconnect any wiring harness if applicable. The bezel should now be freed from the door.
5. Proceed to remove the door panel next so you can access and disconnect the wiring harness for the mirror. Some times you may be able to disconnect the mirror wiring harness from the opening of the inside door handle. If this is the case, the door panel needs not to be removed.
6. Once the door panel is removed, you can disconnect the mirror wiring harness.
7. Remove the bolts/nuts which hold the mirror to the car.


It sounds complicated, but it is really an easy task if you are familiar with each step.

 

Thank you. I managed to change the mirror. It was not that difficult.
