Don't be me, Mirror Replacement
 
I recently painted my mirrors, I broke the glass. The glass is 500 bucks (I have heated and the collision sensor) from the dealer. I found a salvaged RC and got it for 160....

Why am I writing this? (To help y'all in case you guys want to paint the covers)

Notes:
The glass is held by 4 clips, diagonally across from each other
All the connections for the sensors and heat come off, they're not permanently attached. To remove the little connectors (Two of them, you have to pull the little clip up)


1. Don't force the bloody glass
2. When removing, move the mirror all the way up and grab from the bottom to pull out
3. Use your palm when installing again
4. Verify all is mounted correctly (Tilt to each side and pull from each corner - Not HARD! )

--I was in my boxers, if you see something in the mirror my bad lolhttps://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...37179c01d9.jpg

More or less should be about the same. The palm trick is for any mirror, most lexus have the clips so everything should be about the same
