Pass side video mirror glass cracked and fell out. It's a power mirror and looks like it was held in place by 4 plastic pins.

I'd like to replace just the glass which I see listed on Rockauto. Is it as easy as pushing the new mirror into place or is there more too it?
 






It should just snap on, unless it's a heated mirror then you've got an electrical connector as well.
 






Its not heated, just powered.

Two (of the four) snaps connected to the black plastic mirror back look like they are V shape and need to be pinched first and put through a weather proof grommet in the motor. Is there a trick to getting this back together?

I don't know, I haven't done it.
I've replaced the mirror on other Ford products without much difficulty.
