Mirror Shattered, Need Some Help...
I had my truck parked on the street and forgot to fold in the mirrors. Someone smashed into my driverside mirror and shattered it (just the glass is damaged). So I ordered new glass. i have searched and searched with no results, does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to change it? My last resort is getting raped by the dealer. (06 Mark LT)
Thanks guys

it's really easy to change out the glass
1. push in the glass and behind it you will see a round circle attached to the back of the mirror glass
2.with a long skinny flat head screwdriver pop off the 4 tiny fingers that attach to the mirror motor
3.the glass should come right off, if you got heated mirrors unhook the connection and your off
4.new one just pops on
CAUTION---the mirror is very very thing and can break super easy. you dealer is the best best or tasca for the glass, aftermarket mirror glass is crap and over time develops black spots on it. check ebay i have seen some oem mirror glass on there in the past.

Ok, So I gave it a try. It came off no problem, but putting it back on I was only able to get 2 out of the 4 clips back on. I tried my best to get them all on at the same time but only one side went in. I put as much pressure as I could without feeling like I was going to break it and still wont clip on. It seems real sturdy (has as much play as the other mirror). Should I just leave it or will hitting a big enough pot hole knock it loose?
