Passenger Side Rear view mirror

[Runcy12]

Hello,

Has anyone ever done a write up in the replacement of the mirror glass only? I have searched and only found replacement of the whole assembly. Tree branch got my glass and left a hole in the mirror glass, so I hate to replace the whole thing.

Thanks in advance.

As far as can remember somewhere in this forum someone has already described the procedure.

The glass just pops off and if it is the heated mirror there is a connector to pull off. The company I got the replacement glass from even included a detailed color instruction sheet on the procedure.

Unfortunately some of the pertinent picture links are no longer any good.

thanks for the link, but I wish there were some photos. I am not afraid of doing it myself, but would like to know what is behind the glass before I jump into it. I guess I will keep looking or just take my chances.
