Replace Side View Mirror
So I bought a new RDX on Saturday. My wife drove it to work on Tue while I took her TL in to fix a paint chip. Coming out her parking garage, she hit some type of metal box which gouged several 3"-4" grooves out of the driver's side view mirror casing.
She called the dealer today and the service department told her that a replacement mirror would cost $310 and that she could just snap the old one off and snap the new one on. I can't find any installation manuals for the mirror but I can't believe that it would be that simple.
Has anyone done this replacement yet or know where I can find the installation instructions?
Thanks!

Mirror replacement
I'd like to know too. I shattered my side mirror turn signal cover on a construction pylon (7 of them actually) when someone swerved me off the road. I ordered just the LED unit and the plastic cover from Acura of Peoria. But I cant figure out how to get into the unit. My local dealer quoted me $475 to replace the entire mirror unit. For a broken plastic light cover!!!!

Ironic I looked inside this thread? Yes...
Someone at a parking lot smacked my side mirror, enough to crack several tiny chunks off. Honestly without ordering my service manual it looks like a door disassembly job to me (probably 30~40min involved)...

does this mean i should go pull my mirrors in now that i just read this thread? I doubt its as simple as snap on snap off, there are wires and motors in the mirror. sasair may be able to scan a few pages out of his manual and pm them to u.

Here's some general instructions. Use at your own risk.
Pull the door inner panel and plastic water seal, then disconnect the mirror electric harness and 3 nuts that secure it to the door. From inside the door there is a single three prong clip that holds the mirror assembly on. I'm not sure how you undo it -- it must be apparent when you actually see it. Hold the mirror when releasing it or it may fall.
When re-assembling, be sure to seal the perimeter of the plastic water seal again.
