How to replace side mirror casing of 2012 TL
I recently backed out of my garage and dinged the side mirror of my brand new 2012 acura tl. I checked online to see how to replace the casing and didnt find anything usefull.
the part i needed is only about 45 dollars from here http://parts.sonsacura.com/products/...TK4-A02ZM.html
The part i need was 4, the right side mirror casing, 11 is the left side.
I was looking to see how to get the casing off and finally I found a youtube video that shows how to do it on a tsx, its the same for the tl
just wanted to share with you guys , hope it will help and save you some money

Replace mirror
I thought I'd revive an old thread, rather than start a new one. I have a similar issue where I need to replace/fix my mirror. My car was parked on the street and the next morning I came out to see the passenger mirror hanging on the side of the car. I guess someone swiped the mirror as they were passing by. My question is whether or not the whole mirror needs to be replaced? It seems to be broken at the area that swivels, right where the housing meets the part that screws on to the car. I've put an arrow at the spot I'm referring to. Does anyone know how the housing connects to it? Is this repairable or would I need to order a whole new mirror? Thanks

whole mirror needs to be replaced,
i believe you have to take apart the door panel to be able to access the bolt that holds the side mirror onto the door..

Thanks! I was afraid the whole mirror had to be replaced. Taking off the door panel seems to be a PIA, so I was really trying to avoid that. Do you by chance know how the housing attaches to the bottom part so that mirror swivels (i.e. where the arrow is in the pic above)? Can it be taken apart?

You will need to take the door panel off. I've replaced a side mirror on my brother-in-laws 2000 Avalon twice. Also have taken off door panels on 03 Maxima and 97 4Runner. You jut need to take your time and be gentle. It really isn't that hard.
I don't think you would be able to separate the mirror at the swivel point unless once you have it off there's a way to get at it?

Is it possible to take the two mirror halves apart with taking the whole assembly off?
