  • How To: Remove Side View Mirror Glass

    I cracked the glass on my sideview mirror. Housing, motor, etc. is OK so I just got a replacement glass. How do I get the old, half broken mirror glass off its mount? Putty knife, suction cup, etc. Does the new one just snap in? Anything to be careful about (beyond breaking the new one), etc... Any help w/b appreciated.

    i think that its glued on there, i think youd be better off replacing the whole thing

          Go to a body shop.

          I remember when I was young I went with my dad to get his side views replaced. Guy just glued new ones on.

          Took all of 20 seconds, a bit of glue and some tape.

              I've seen just the mirror glass on ebay also specifically for the G6 if you can figure out how to get it out and the new one in. On other cars I've messed with it's not glued on. There is usually a plastic piece on the back of the glass that fits into the cables or whatever the vehicle has to adjust the glass.

                the glass just pops out


                putting it back in can be kind of a bitch but it will go

                Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post
