My passenger side view mirror glass broke. I've bought the replacement that includes the backing plate... but it still doesn't seem to fit (exact same part - number confirmed) I feel like there is another piece missing between the backplate and the motor for tilt. I went to the parts counter at the dealership and they weren't very helpful.
To me - it looks like something goes in that circular hole that connects to the motor that helps with tilt/adjustment.
I’ve replaced both of my side mirrors and it was always more efficient to buy an entire used side mirror assembly on eBay, then remove the parts I needed from the entire assembly. Just make sure you buy factory assemblies, a lot of oem assemblies have different internals.
I would also practice putting the mirror onto the assembly before actually trying it as it’s very easy to crack the mirror. The trick is to put a screw driver behind the part where it clips in for support to keep the rest of the mirror from bending.

How difficult is it to find one with dimming and heated glass?
I need one for my DS 06 IS350
