How to Replace the Side View Mirror on a Honda S2000

Introduced in April, the 1999 Honda S2000 represented the 50th anniversary of the Honda Motor Corporation in grand roadster style. Although the Honda S2000 is a high power sports car, Honda equipped it with standard side view mirrors. The mirror shells are shaped to resemble the art deco mirrors of the late 1960s and attach to the vehicle in the same manner as most convertible vehicles. They bolt into the side of the door.

Instructions

1

Remove the inner door panel by using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five Phillips screws that secure it to the door frame. With the screws removed, pull the panel off the door. The panel has additional tabs hooked to it that press fit into the door. Take caution not to break the tabs while you pull the panel off.

2

Roll the window up to allow access to the back side of the door.

3

Disconnect the wiring harness from the mirror by pulling the locking tab on the harness upward and then pull the two ends apart.

4

Remove the two 12 mm bolts that secure the mirror to the door. Hold the mirror with one hand while you remove the bolts with the other.

5

Place the new mirror against the door and bolt it into place.

6

Reconnect the wiring harness. Press the locking tab down to prevent the harness from working loose over time.

7

Line the tabs on the door panel up with the holes in the door frame and press them into the holes.

8

Screw the door panel into place with the five screws.
