    Driver's side mirror replacement

    Hi fellows. I broke the glass in the driver's side mirror in a small accident recently. I have decided to replace the glass in myself. I am getting new glass cut, after removing the broken pieces. Are there clips that hold the mirror to the holder or is it is it a matter of gluing the mirror in place?

    Thanks a mil.I was wondering if the glass had to go into the lip at the edge of the holder. I will go ahead and just glue it to the frame then,

    If there is a lip then make sure the replacement glass is same thickness as original glass, otherwise it won't clip it. But use silicone adhesive anyways
