side mirror sub assembly replacement
Hi guys,
So I searched around and I guess if one was to replace the whole side mirror assembly and housing, that you would have to take the door panel off and such, which is a hassle.
I just need to replace the mirror which is cracked...anyone have experience doing this? I'm looking at it and I can't figure how to take just the mirror part off without having to take the whole assembly apart...
Thanks in advance.

You don't need to take out the whole door to replace a mirror.
Adjust and tilt the mirror by using the controller inside your car. Let it tilt until you see a big gap. Pry it or pull it, be gentle though as you just want to pry the mirror and not the clip inside.
BTW: Is your mirror replacement just a mirror with an adhesive back or with the clips?

Thanks jdmgab, that's what I figured...I'm just worried about popping it back in and having it snap in place, without breaking the glass under pressure. The part I'm ordering will be just the glass.
