The lamination on old mirror is pealing. Bought an OEM replacement on Amazon. Saw video on YouTube sticking a screwdriver to release and slide the old mirror out.Is this the proper way on my model car? I tried inserting the screwdriver but the old mirror does not slide out. This a video I found on YouTube but it's for a Mazda 6. __________________

 

Yes, I just replaced mine last night, and that is also how I did it. It does take a some effort to slide it up, though.

 

That's not a very clear video. You need to know what head the screw had. Usually, a philips or Torx. Find a driver that fits it, and unscrew the screw. Once the screw is loosened, the mirror assembly will slide right off. The new mirror will slide onto the mount tab and then you tighten the screw down. Just hold the base of the mount and adjust the new mirror and you're done.

 

Thanks. Brute force is what removed.
