2011 Acura RL Condensation Driver's Side Mirror (Help)

Out of the blue I am getting condensation in the side turn signal lens of the mirror. Is there a guide someone has on how to remove this lens? I will just buy one and replace it instead of trying to fix it but do not want to damage the mirror.

Did you run a search? There's multiple threads related to what you're trying to do.

If you did and couldn't find anything here's the process.

-Insert a trim removal tool on the bottom of the mirror and pry outwards to pop out mirror.
-Disconnect the two black mirror defogger wire behind the mirror
-There will be one screw holding the turn signal indicator
-Slide indicator to the right and unplug the connector.

Install in reverse order. See my power folding mirror thread below in my sig for more details.

Hope that helps.

Hey,

I also own a 2011 RL, would you post pictures of your car? I love hearing from owners who have a similar interest in cars like mine

Yes in deed...
