there are three Philip screws holding the mirror in, i think one on top and two on the bottom behind the mirror, you have to move the mirror around to see them but you'll be able to get to them. The down side is you wont be able to just pull out the drivers side mirror because of the cables that run from it to the controls on the door, that is if it's a manual mirror. I don't know about the power ones. Just give it a good look and you'll figure it out. Good luck

If only the glass is broken, you can just pry the broke pieces off.

There are a couple of clips that adhere to the back ofthe glass (Autizone sells the glass) and they simply clip into the up/down & left/right pivots on the adjusting motor in the housing. No need to pull the phillips screws & remove the motor.

I did the 4th gen mirror swap, because my adjuster motor was out.
