We love working on Honda, especially this Civic — this was one of the easiest side mirror replacements we've done in a while, and the interior door panel was a breeze to remove. Driving without a car mirror can be a huge pain in the neck, literally, and it's also illegal in a lot of states. Do your best without one, but don't wait too long to replace it. ⚠️ ✅ COMPATIBLE YEARS - 2021 Honda Civic (Sedan) - 2020 Honda Civic (Sedan and Coupe) - 2019 Honda Civic (Sedan and Coupe) - 2018 Honda Civic (Sedan and Coupe) - 2017 Honda Civic (Sedan and Coupe) - 2016 Honda Civic (Sedan and Coupe) 🔧 TOOLS NEEDED - 10mm wrench (preferably a socket wrench) - Panel clip removal tool or flathead screwdriver (be careful not to scuff the plastic door panel if using a screwdriver) - Phillips screwdriver (for one small screw) 📋 REPLACEMENT STEPS 1. Pop off the window control module with a panel clip removal tool or flathead screwdriver — this Civic only has one screw securing the door panel, located behind the module 2. Remove the interior door panel to access the wire harness for the exterior mirror 3. Release the three nuts securing the mirror 4. Carefully unplug the wire harness to the mirror — pop the one plastic clip holding the wire to the door 5. Remove the old mirror and install your new painted mirror (or whatever mirror you have) — make sure it has a rubber or foam grommet on the bottom to keep water and road noise out 6. Secure the new mirror onto the door by working backward through the removal steps 7. Check the mirror's electric functions before fully installing it — nothing worse than finishing the job and finding out it doesn't work 8. Snap the interior mirror cover on before reinstalling the door panel 9. Reattach the door panel, making sure the green clips snap into place 10. Reinstall the window module — you're done! ✅ FAQ — Honda Civic Side Mirror Replacement Q: What years and trims does this mirror fit?
