the driver side mirror bracket on the inside is busted ...wondering if i can just find a new bracket and put inside or am i gonna have to go the the junkyard and find a good shape 1 or just buy a new 1 and on the passenger side the mirror is cracked can i just replace the piece or am i gonna have to fully replace that mirror 2 if need be i can get pics to show you what im talking about.

 

All the parts are replaceable, just get donor parts from the JY and have a blast.

 

The mirror lenses themselves are held into the mirror housing by 3 screws. My car has phillips head screws. By moving the mirror around inside the housing you can get to all three screws.

So to answer your question, all you need is the bracket that screws into the housing.

 

i thought they were glued on. everything i have read appear to show heating and pulling the lense off. do you have any pics of the 3 screws you are talking about?
i have a new set of power mirrors to put on but the mirror looks like crap but the ones i am replacing are in excellent condition, would love to find that you can unscrew them.

 

Well i searched the local junkyards and came up with nothing. Does any1 know where u can buy just the inside mirror bracket? Possible local Gm store might be able to get me one?

 

mine are glued on to a backing. you have to heat them to break the glue free.
check with top down solutions - he is a member here. he might know.
and be sure to post if you get them apart, i would love to see the insides.

 

Your saying that the mirror bracket is glued to the mirror shell?

 

no. i say the mirror is glued to its backing and you cant get inside the darn shell until you remove that and there is no way to get in to do anything but unscrew it.
here is a set of instructions taken from a side mirror replacement site.
hope it helps.

 

Ok i took a pic of the mirror http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8...0906152155.jpg as far as i know i just gotta get the bracket to replace it according to the guy who posted above now the passanger mirror ill have to do what u posted but thats the least of my worries at the moment between the two but i dont know where to get a bracket

 

ok now i see what you need. i will look for it and at the same time see if i can take the braces off mine to pull a switch.

thanks for the photo.

 

you are right - i have been looking around and cant find anything.
are yours electric or do they use the wire?

 

The wire with the *** on the inside to move it
