Replacing the mirror glass with an authentic OEM Honda part. I've snapped it in and connected the two de-fog wires, but the mirror does not move when I "reposition" it to align with my side view. The motors/actuators run when I move the controls from the driver's seat, but the mirror does not. I feel as though the actuators aren't connecting to the back of the mirror glass. I just can't seem to attach the glass to the the moving parts of the motor, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Any advice?

Yep you are right on that one, the actuator pivot must "pop" unto place. Here are the instructions for you to help get the mirror installed correctly. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes. Ken
