My problem is removing the mirror only -- not the entire assembly

Sorry for the delay in replying. seems the notification process fouled up again.

Removal & Installation

1. To remove mirror back and glass assembly from housing, insert fingers as far as possible behind mirror back (toward center) and pull straight out with enough force to disengage snap-fits from adjuster mechanism.

2. To install, align mirror back snap-fit hooks with adjuster mechanism ramps. Gently press
mirror back toward adjuster mechanism until engagement of snap-hooks.

3. Check mirror operation with foam placed below mirror to catch glass if it should fall.
Installation is successful if mirror back stays firmly attached to motor pack.
