Quick Help!!

Hey, obviously I'm a bonehead and tried this right before I need to go to work but, some of you may have read about my passenger side view mirror breaking, well I just popped off the glass to check for damage behind the glass, well now that I popped the glass off the brackets, the glass is only on by the wires for the heated mirror feature, they aren't soldered on, but they look like they are held on by some kind of glue and I can't get get it off with out feeling like breaking the wires.

Anyone know how to get these wires off? Hopefully I can get some help in the next 10 minutes or so or I might just have to cut the wires. Which I'd rather not do, because then it will make the install of the new glass more a pain in the butt.

I don't know for sure. Have you tried heating the glue? Sometimes that works

id just take the mirror off the car. That way you dont have to worry about cutting it till you can see whats holding it.

I honestly dont know as ive never taken the glass off myself. Id just try prying it out of the glue

You got it, good. Now, share with the forum so other members can get the idea.
