Thank you very much for this. The key point, for me, was prying the mirror off of the gimbal. I had no idea that it was merely snap-fitted onto the gimbal, and that it could be gently pried off. I was about to return the housing and cap that I had bought and buy an entire new mirror assembly. After watching this, I was able to wrap up the job quickly. 😊
Thanks for doing the dirty work 😀This is exactly what I need. I’ll hope it works out when the housing arrives next week. If I escape injury free it will truly be miraculous, thanks again!
You have truly blessed me with this video. Every quote I got for this was to replace the whole mirror which would run me over $1000 for my 2021 civic hatchback. I knew there had to be a way to fix just the housing/skull cap and you were the only video I could find on how to do this. I took the chance of doing this by myself (plus my father to assist) which saved me over $900. Thank you so much!! All the best to you!
This was a life saver! This helped me alot! Yeah Dealer said have to replace the whole mirror. So i just asked them for the part number and did it myself! Just go slow and carefully and all is good! Thanks again!
I really appreciate you making this video. The lowest quote to replace this was 800$. Another dealership quoted 1400$. I bought the genuine parts from Honda and replaced it myself thanks to this video.
Thanks for a very informative video. I paid approx. $75 for the outside housing and skull cap. Found it simple to replace with your instructions and saved probably $350 plus installation. Everyone told me I had to replace the total assemble but, thanks to you, I found out I didn't.
Thank you! I knew this was relatively straightforward and did not want to pay the $300 for a whole new mirror when just the plastic was cracked. I just couldn't figure out how to remove the white mirror mount. Thank you you for showing us! Saved me a TON. You are a great man!
And just like you I only had 1 f*** 😂😂😂 in the process. I forgot to put one of the camera mount screws back in, so I had to undo the three screws to remove the new housing, re-add the screw, then reattach the new housing. Oops...
Thank you so much for making this video! I was able to replace my housing in 15 minutes! Wouldn't have figured out how to do it otherwise. I also think it's cool that you and your son both have a Civic!
Thank you so much for your video! So helpful and gave me hope on fixing without labor cost or insurance deductible. Would of loved to see finished work though
Thank you so much! Most helpful video I found on the subject. Just a couple of replays, $115 in parts, and an hour of my time and my passenger side mirror is good as new!
I know how mine got broken I was merging off a interstate ramp and they had construction cones up, I didn't see them until right before I merged back into traffic and the other driver would let me in and my passenger mirror clipped the top of a cone with the bottom of my mirror and the housing exploded all electronics and skull cap fine. I bought the parts in 2018 after it happened and the dealership wanted $250 labor to replace the housing, I decided to do it myself, however I was misinformed by other posters that I would have to take off the door paneling and take the mirror off to fix it. I subsequently kept putting it off and then I stumbled onto your video and saw that you didn't need to do all that and what the process was to accomplish it, so after having the parts for almost 3 years I finally replaced the housing today and it looks brand new. I also got lucky and when I pried off the mirror the white actuator came off with it, still attached to the mirror. Made the process even easier. Thanks so much. :)
Hi brian....i tried today to replace the mirror but i couldnt find the bottom screw. Can you tell me how to find it ?? I mean do we need to remove a plastic portion to unscrew it??
I might of pushed the two white screws in when I was pushing the white bracket with the two white screws attached to it. Now I hear my motor but mirrors isn't moving. Any thoughts? Anyone did this? I have 2016 Civic EXL model.
does any1 knows if it is possible to instal a side mirror with camera on a coupe? can i change the right door wire harness from a 2018 to install it on my 2016?
@@colbycivic Honda parts website or go to your local dealer parts department. Note: if you go (or call) in person, get a list of all the parts numbers you need, then order on-line. It will save you money.
Thanks for great video. Quick question, where do buy housing assembly with matching color case for Honda Civic ? I have the broken housing on drivers side. Please advise.
Order the parts from a Honda parts distributor. HondaPartsNow dot com or a local dealer’s web site. Note: search with your VIN, not just year/make/model. Also, if using local dealer, order on-line and then pick it up. You will pay more to just go and deal with the parts department.
My theory on why the lower housing and the ring housing just explode is that they are only ABS. There is no glass fiber in them at all (I was looking at all the parts inside when I was temp gluing/taping things back into place). When I exploded mine, I know that it was because the little valley between the camera and the mirror housing wedged against the edge of my garage door. I take the Honda mirrors for granted as they are supposed to flex backwards and forwards as you know. What I am quite sure happened was that all the force was put into the lateral direction and not in a forward or backward direction. I would bet that someone managed to hit yours in the same manner and kaboom. Had they only grazed forward or backward, you likely wouldn't have had any mess or only a mark. I got mine done at the dealer as they had great prices on the parts so my total repair bill for the three parts and labor was only $185 CAD. It was also in the middle of the winter and I had no desire to be out in it where I live in a part of Canada that gets proper winters.
To find the part numbers, go to a Honda dealer website that allows you to search parts by VIN number. That will ensure you get the correct parts. For example, the mirror housing for the Si is different from the Sport. I bought my parts from a Honda dealership in Daytona Beach. The give the deepest discounts of the sites I have researched. They charge for shipping, but the prices are fair.
thx for the video, i got a different question and hopefully you know some tips. Have you notice tension issue on the sides mirrors? mine easily fold in or out when going through the carwash, they are very loose if you hand move them. Do you know a way to tie them? i looked photos diagram videos but nothing related to the tension adjustment if any. Thx
Hey Brian. Thank you for the video. I just want to confirm something. Broke the lower black plastic during a car wash. Camera works just the lower plastic is broken. Do I need to order a housing for that ?
dude this same thing happened to me and idk how.. skull cap was in the road i glued it in place and have it on but it's janked up.. i'm waiting for a new cap to come
hello, would this work for a 2018 honda accord sport as well? i chipped only the black part of the mirror which i’m assuming it’s the housing only! i’d appreciate your feedback 🙏🏻
Yeah i just did the exact same thing. It’s basically the same procedure and you can buy the mirror housing for like $40 online (OEM). I just replaced my housing caus my mirror and outer shell was intact and perfect
Just seeing this my kids civic passenger side mirror was it. Where did everyone go to get the housing just to the dealer or website im googling and the only things coming up is the entire mirror assembly
How did you get your mirror inverted like that at the beginning of the video? I bought the parts and want to do this but I’m scared to bend the mirror back that far. It doesn’t break?
The mirror housing will fold back (so the glass is parallel with the side windows). It can be stiff, but they are designed to fold back. (Note: you can get power folding mirrors in Europe!)
@@brianaustin1328 that’s great! I figured it was supposed to fold that way but was scared to break something if I just yanked it in the opposite way it goes lol thanks for replying quickly! I am going to attempt to fix this mirror soon

@@DannyzReviews I had to order the front half, the back half and the top (skull cap). E careful with the part numbers as there are different mirrors depending on which model and color Civic you have. Find the schematic for your car and get your part numbers that way.
no. It was aimed in the same place as prior to the replacement. Also, I have seen a video on TH-cam that shows you how to aim the camera if you need to.
Just changed this housing on a 2017 Honda Civic Touring passenger side. Picked up the parts online at a Canadian source TorontoHondaParts. Problems I had my help someone else: The white plastic piece that has to be popped off the centre hub - careful that you don't loose the power mirror circular springs that fit around the sprockets. They came off for me and I had to search for them on the ground. When I first put it back together, the power mirror x + y tilt would not work - once the springs were is place all was well.
Thank you so much. The two metal rings fell off when I disassembled it, so the power mirrors did't work when I first reinstalled them. I found the two small metal rings on the ground and put them back, and now they work.

It looks like the part number above is the housing for a 2014-2017 Odyssey. Keep in mind, the right and left housings are different part numbers. Currently, I use HondaPartsNow dot com for my purchases. Their prices are about 20-30% below what you would pay at a dealership.
