Urgent advice required on how to change mirror and holder

Caskin · 11th May 2017, 21:35

After a hit and run side swipe, my wing mirror was broken and its holder detached from the actuator.

My glass is not clipped etc., it sits inside a plastic holder through which the two heater terminals pass(so holder must be removable ) when broken the glass can be peeled off but as the terminals go with it, the holder requires removal and refitting?
I have complete replacement mirror assembly.

How do I remove the holder and glass ,equally how do I refit to the one on the vehicle?
Have included two photos to illustrate holder.

Glass pops out with the use of a flat blade behind and twist, there are 4 ball & socket fixings which hold it in place. Once off, you'll see how the plastic casing is attached, 2 prongs which need pressing in to release. This is for bullet mirror casings.

The mirror glass on my units is not clipped in or stuck in, its attached to its own holder, which clips onto the face of actuator motor. Recently I was side swiped, the force of the hit not only broke the glass but also detached the mirror complete with holder from the actuator face. The glass is easily peeled off the front of holder, but I have a replacement,
I would greatly appreciate knowing how to remove the mirror plus holder from my spare and how to fit to present mirror..Thanks

have included two photos illustrating holder to help with lame description!!
