To replace just the mirror is fairly easy. It is secured by a "turn to lock" device. If you have acquired the replacement mirror, it will be clear what I am referring to. There is also some adhesive that can be stubborn, I usually warm them up with a heat gun before removal. So to start with, get the mirror and familiarize yourself with it's attaching method then to remove the old one pull at the bottom and reach in with a pick tool and rotate the locking device in the correct direction and it will come out. They are all heated mirrors so beware that there are two wires going to the mirror for the heating element. Any other questions, repost and we will help you out!
