I have a 02 av and need to replace side mirror because the defrost does not work. How do I get it out without damageing the electronic motor for mirror adjustment.
Thanx Bub

The mirror is very fragile.? Mine broke easy.

BTW, once you know what you are doing it is easy.? The first time was tough though.

Use a long thin flathead screwdriver with the mirror tilted up all the way.? Gently pop off the ring behind the mirror going around at a time and separate.? The mirror breaks easily and I've broke one doing that.? Unplug the wiring connector from the mirror glass and inspect for corrosion and sand the connector in and out until you see shiny bare metal.? Dont forget to sand the heater prongs in the back of the mirror glass before reconnecting.? Then dab some of electrical corrosion protective grease.? Worked out pretty good for me.

If so does anyone happen to have a part number?
