Trying to replace passenger side door mirror glass, does the mirror just pull out
Side mirrors
- Thread starter Benjaminws
- Start date
when i broke my passenger mirror (2000 6cyl sport) the glass and frame and wire harness) popped out unscathed. but it was the mirror housing that broke. i think this means it will pop out given enough pressure /twisting

No, there is a tab release it.
Removal and Installation
- Push in the upper inboard area of the exterior mirror glass to access the mirror release tab.
- NOTE: The mirror release tab is accessed from the lower out board corner.
Release the tab from the mirror motor, pull outward until the exterior mirror glass is released.- If equipped, disconnect the heated mirror electrical connectors.
- WARNING: Place a shop towel between the exterior mirror glass and the hand to avoid personal injury in the instance of glass breakage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

03-06 glass for mirrors the same?

I'm not sure for the passenger side. On the driver's side, gen 2 mirrors have electrochromatic dimming (controlled by the inside mirror). Even so, it could fit and you just wouldn't connect it. I do have the glass for a gen 2 passenger mirror on my spare parts shelf. The back side of it does not look exactly like the back side of the glass in the video.
Short answer: It's not exactly the same, and I don't know if it would fit or not.
Edit: Maybe I got the question wrong. All 03 to 06 mirror glass is the same except that some driver's side may not have dimming (V6 base did not get dimming). The answer above was comparing 00 to 02 glass to 03 to 06 glass.

Does anyone have an internal diagram of the mirror glass clip to motor attach points? There are 3 or 4 white plastic pins and one white U-clip. Can't figure out how the white U-clip attaches.
Prying off the mirror glass the way the video shows is a recipe for ending up with a loose fitting floating mirror that shakes while you drive.
