How do you remove a side view mirror. I dont need to take off the whole assembly just the actual mirror.

Best repair: Leave the old broken glass in place, and just stick a new piece right on top of it. Napa has kits to fit exactly over your old mirror.

yeah i could see where that could be a problem lol

Its weird tho it mirror actualy cracked in three places so each pannel would have a different view so when you looked at a car in the mirror you would see 3 different parts.
