My driver side mirror got messed up. Something popped and now it doesn't stay where I want it to.

So I got a brand new aftermarket mirror off ebay to replace it and found out it'll cost about $150 to paint it cause of how much the paint costs.

So I want to just try to keep my original housing and just replace the mirrors. How would I go about doing that? I took it off my car but I don't see how the mirror would come off.

I got the same exact problem, mine is a manual mirror. NE1 with suggestions on how to replace just the mirror.

mine too...

its pretty easy to take the mirror outta the housing... just 3 screws that hold the plastic bracket in place.

My problem (with 2 mirrors!! grrr) is that one of the 3 metal wires that adjust/hold the mirror in place has 'let go' of the mounting plate that hte mirror sticks to.

If you can get a whole new inside assembly (which I think you have vash...) it should be pretty easy.

If you move the mirror all the way to one side, you can get a screw driver inside at the screws, you just have to adjust diff. directions so you can get a good angle on it.

hope it helps!
