  2. Tilt the upper glass down.
  3. Tilt the lower glass down.
  4. Using the tool provided with the kit at the bottom of the upper mirror, pry the upper glass toward the top of the housing until the glass backing plate disconnects from the housing.
  5. Disconnect the electrical connector.
  6. Properly dispose of the old glass assembly.
  7. Attach the electrical connector to the new glass assembly.
  8. Align the spring fingers of the new upper glass assembly to the ramps at the sides and bottom of the housing.
