Side view mirror 2003 Dodge caravan Sign In

How does one replace the reflective mirror surface on a 2003 Dodge caravan side view mirror (driver side), I have the part but I am puzzled as how to remove and replace the mirror surface.

An auto glass adhesive is usually used to glue the glass to the plastic. I have seen the rear view mirror adhesive work on these.

So Steve 01832,
should I just brake off the remaining reflective surface and glue the new mirror into place.

Be very careful you don't crack the plastic piece. You may want to wear gloves also. I usually don't advise replacing the mirrored glass. I usually replace the entire mirror. I've found that the aftermarket adhesives tend not to hold the glass longterm.
