No play at all. In order to de-pin, get a small flat head screw driver and gently press down on the top of the terminal head where the red line is (not sure if that term is correct lol). Once pressed down the wire should come out easily.

Actually that picture is the back of the 2014+ mirror you have to use the 2013 mirror for BSM to work so the color of the wires are different.
I ended up cutting the harness it plugs into and flipping that instead.


So Im planning to do this swap, unfortunately I cracked my driver glass. Is it still possible to use the 2014 Glass and just cut and flip the wires? Or is the 2014 glass completely unusable in the swap? Thanks
