I have a 2011 f150, and while backing out of the garage, my wife bent the mirror back, and the glass popped out. Okay, truth be told, it was me. In popping out, the plastic motor mount tore off. That is the only damaged part. See the pictures below. It appears that I would have to buy a new motor, and then mount the undamaged glass onto the new motor and mount. I for the life of me, cannot get the plastic mount off of the glass, and everything I have read says it should just pop off by moving some clips. The clips I can see can NOT be bent back with fingers with the glass out, and certainly not when trying to get the glass off from the outside.

So my questions are:
1. Are these parts replaceable? Suggestions as to where?
2. How exactly would I make this repair, given the pictures below?
3. How do I get the old broken mount off of the undamaged glass?

I am guessing that I am missing something obvious.

Love this forum, many thanks ahead of time for anyone that responds. Thank you!

The tabs could be moved out two at a time while slipping a thing screw driver underneath the motor mount and work your way around the outside maybe? Just don't bend them outward any farther than you need to get past the mount surface - don't want to break them!

That worked! I was able to pry up the tabs, on at a time, until the mount popped off. Thanks for the suggestion! Now, to see if I can find the replacement parts.....
