My mirror is cracked. I have another door on parts car with an intact mirror. Can I change just the glass and mount? How do I remove old?

Changing the whole mirror may be the easiest thing to do.

Inside the car on the door in front of the glass on top of the door panel is a black plastic triangle piece of plastic trim that will unsnap and pop off. It will be tight, but pull it straight out horisontally.

Under that is, I think, a 10 or 12mm nut (maybe 2? I don't remember) that holds the whole mirror assembly on. When you take the mirror off, you will see the power mirror wires. There is a plug & socket that you can take apart.

Just take the mirror off, put the other one on and reverse the steps.

on my lanos you could just pop the glass off the mirror body.

I have not tried that as I did not want to brake the glass trying to get it out.

the glass sits on some kinda plastic plate and that plate is attached by tabs to a circular part that is moved by the mirror control... the plastic plate will take all the force during the removal process.
