Does anyone know how to pop off the lenz and pop a new one on. I was out to dinner the other night and came back to my car to find the right side view mirror lenz cracked. I called my local Acura dealer to order the part and they told me that they wern't going to charge me for instalation because the part just "pops in and out". I got there and paid the parts department $40+ for the lenz and then the service department wanted another $55+ for Labor. On top of that it is about a 35 mile drive each way. I could have baught an aftermarket ppart for $11- and the retail price for the OEM Mirror is only $20 somthing bucks. I have a feeling removing the broken lenz is going to be the trickey part.

 

It's in the 3G Garage

Got it. Installed it. Thanks. The only note is that you will need a flashlight for this operation. Note that on the lenz assembaly there is a plastic ring that is about 1/8" in bring your flathead up to this ring and twist against the actuatior tab and pop. Thanks
