Does this mirror plug directly into my factory wiring?

Yes — it's wired for OEM electrical systems on this generation Corolla. No rewiring needed. Just confirm your vehicle has powered mirror capability before ordering.

Do I need to remove trim panels to install this?

You'll need to access the factory mirror mounting points from inside the door. Basic panel removal tools and patience required. Service manual strongly recommended.

What if the motor doesn't fold on arrival?

Inspect the electrical connector first — make sure it's seated fully on your vehicle's harness. If the mirror arrived damaged, contact support with photos for a return or replacement.
