If your mirror assembly as a whole is still intact, but the glass is cracked, broken or missing, start by finding your replacement mirror. This will help you determine whether the backing plate behind the glass needs to come out as well.
If your replacement glass is a snap-on unit, you’ll remove the old backing plate—and whatever bits of glass are left attached to it—as a whole.
If your replacement glass is a stick-on mirror, you’ll want to remove as much of the old glass as possible so that you can use double-sided tape or epoxy to attach the new mirror to the backing plate.
It’s a good idea to wear leather gloves if you have broken pieces of mirror that need to be removed.
If the mirror is heated, you’ll need to detach the wires involved before removing the old backing plate.
Once the old backing plate or mirror glass is removed, reattach any wires you detached to the new unit and snap it into place.
If you’re replacing a stick-on mirror, follow the specific directions for your adhesive to attach the mirror to the backing plate.
Once the mirror is attached, make sure you’re able to adjust it as needed.
Use some painter’s masking tape to hold the mirror in place while adhesive sets, if necessary.
