Transcript:
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.

I am glad you offer this video....but it could be more useful....like HOW you got the mirror away from the housing ?? (A crowbar, a flat head screw driver, etc) And are you listening for a "pop" or what to disconnect from whatever is holding it?? Someone here mentioned that if it is glue....just heat the mirror to remove. Things like that would have been more helpful. But I am grateful O'Reilly's did have the mirror I wanted, and, as I said, I am grateful you *tried* to address how to install. Thanks Jeremy

I'm not super familiar with replacing side view mirrors but a big ass truck grazed mine when driving by and impact broke the glass when it folded. Mine aren't heated or have turn signals but they do adjust with a switch and only the glass broke and this video was trying to explain two different mirror types and how to replace at the same time. I'm not an idiot but it was too many directions at once.
