How to: LED turn signal mirrors

[Scottydoggs]

bill, i have a question regarding dis-assembly of the side view regal mirror.

my stock mirror got hit and the glass broke. my housing is black. i picked up a junk yard replacement but its blue, now ive taken the black one apart as its dead and i like to tear into stuff when i have a idea, and well the guts are trash anyways, but i figured out how to pull it all apart, but was wondering if you had any tips or ways you would go about popping the glass off the power mirror motor with out breaking the glass, and then removing the glass off the plastic part with out breaking it. and what is goop? is that a name brand you used to glue stuff in with?

and it would seem upon re assembly, you need to snap the plastic part that the glass is glued to on to the motor, then screw the motor in, then glue the glass on. correct me if im wrong on this one.

thanks for your time.

To replace only a mirror and not the housing. You get your fingers around the black backing of the mirror and pull quick to pop the clips that hold the mirror/backing to the motor. You have a chance of breaking it. You line up the backing with the motor to reassemble and push until it clicks and holds on both axis's and the center pivot point. There is a chance to break the glass, try and be careful.

I pushed the glass gently through the couple of holes in teh backing to get the glass off the backing. Then yes.. used one of the "Goop" products to hold it together when done.
