Had my mirror broken. Got a perfect second hand one at a car breakers. I was unsure whether I should tackle the job myself but after watching your video I decided to have a go. Done exactly as you did and not a bother. Job done. Thank you very much. Much appreciated.

Nice video, but my socket tool won’t fit into the gap (as it needs that little adapter to reduce the size of the square prong to take the socket). Do you know where I can get socket tool that will fit? Thanks, Bruce.

A dumb driver hit and ran me. Cracked my driver side mirror cover, Everything still works on my 2015 buick regal turbo including the blinker light. Should I buy a cover instead of buying a whole mirror like you did? It's cheap buying the cover instead of the whole driver side mirror.

Hi, that is bad luck abput ypur wing mirror. If you can get a whole mirror that would be maybe easier. When I was looking at just changinv the cover, it seemed like I wpuld have to take the wing mirror off the door anyway, to fit it. I could be wrong, but it is worth trying to take your old broken cover off the wing mirror with it still on your door, to see if it is possible or not. Hope this helps

Hi, I am not sure ti be honest. It would depend on if the restbof the electrics were there on all models or not. It might be worth checking the electrical connections on your mirror compared to a folding one. Thanks

On the first attempt I didn’t attach the 10mm socket to the wrench properly and it dropped off and fell into the door panel (irretrievable even with a magnet). On second attempt it all went smoothly and I managed to remove the broken mirror and replace it, all within about 30 mins. Brilliant. Thanks for the guide! Bruce.
