sorry I wasn't clear about the arrows, I meant these 2. are they just pull offs? they seem to be pretty secure in there

yup just a standard male/female crimped connector, might have to wiggle them, but they just pull off.

Happened to my RC. Found the mirror on eBay for about $130 and replaced it myself. You just pop it off disconnect the harnesses, reconnect the harnesses and pop it back on. Takes 20 min it’s easy Peasy and this coming from a guy who is NOT “handy”. Good luck
