Steps
Protect and release the old glass
Wear gloves and apply tape to contain glass fragments if the mirror is cracked. Tilt the glass to expose its retaining points and release it carefully from the backing plate.
Disconnect heater leads
If the mirror is heated, label and disconnect the two leads from the glass. Avoid pulling on the wires or damaging the backing plate.
Connect replacement glass
Reconnect the heater leads to the matching terminals. Transfer the backing plate or mounting tabs if the replacement requires it.
Press the glass into place
Align the glass with the actuator and press evenly across its mounting points, supporting the housing. Test mirror adjustment and heating if equipped.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
