2007 Accord Driver side rearview mirror replacment

[CP]

I need to replace the driver side rearview (outside) mirror on a 2007 Accord EX. I have the new mirror but am not sure the safest way to remove the old mirror. It appears that it held in place by some pressure tape but you might have to rotate it also to remove it??? Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks CP

I don't really know, but it should be pretty easy; since hondas are easy to assemble and disassemble. Have you tried looking at the manual, or take it to any honda place and just ask, sometimes there are people nice enough to tell you how to do it. They won't even ask you for any money, they'll just tell you how to do it, cause they want to help.

Dude, you must live and car-shop in La-La land. 'Round here, they damn near charge you for a cup of tepid coffee in the waiting room....

Google 'Replace Honda Outside Mirror Glass". There are numerous answers, some more detailed than others, but you ought to find something that suits you.

Yeah i guess you're right. How about a friend or a relative? they might help or if not, they might know of someone that might. I mean, if it saves you money, why not at least give it a try.

No problem, I figured it out. You just "carefully" pry it off. The mirror actually provides a slot for removal.

As an option, if it is only the glass that is broken, our local glass shop ordered just the replacement glass for that model and using silicone sealant 'glued' it over the broken glass.....can hardly notice the difference.

I banged the driver side mirror on my 2001 Jeep on the garage backing out and fractured only the glass. and that was the repair. Saved the expense from replacing the entire mirror assembly.

While that works in the case of non-heated mirrors, it doesn't always work with heated mirrors.

That is true to a certain extent. This mirror on my Jeep is a heated mirror. The installer put a fairly thin coating of silicone and it does take noticable longer to work, but it was a low cost option ($39 last year) vs hundreds for total replacement. It works satisfactory with morning dew, but with some ice, it takes much longer.
