Should pop richt back in. But be carefull not to press too hard to not crack the mirror. May need to put some glue if it does not stays in place. Some gp adhesive
Yes the glass element just pops out and the new one pops in. No need to replace the whole mirror or even take it off. Pull evenly as it will take some force to free the ball sockets it is attached to from the power motor.
If the glass broke when it fell out any windshield repair shop can make and install a new mirror. If it didn't break go to the hardware store and get a squeeze tube of bathtub silicone sealer and a roll of black electrical tape if you don't have any. Run a bead of silicone around the edge of the mirror back and a few dots in the center. Stay in about a 1/2 inch so it wont bleed out when you press it on. Using a couple of blocks of wood or plastic or anything non-metallic on the mirror face, make 2 or 3 wraps around the mirror and mirror bracket with the black tape. Stretch the tape as you wrap to put some tension on it but not real tight, just snug. Do this on both ends of the mirror and leave it for a day to let the silicon set up and cure. Then remove the tape and shims and you shouldn't have any more problems with that mirror. Hope this helps.
is the part the spring has to be attached to removalable , from inside of door?may be able to take that piece off and reattach spring when not under tension , i don't know this vehicle very well but most side mirror's do attach this way , hope this is helpful
Is it a replacement or a retro fit to a manual window?
Replacements are really easy. Wear stout gloves. Move the mirror glass so that the edge nearest the car is as far forward as possible. This will push the out edge towards the back of the car. Slip your fingers (or an old thick piece of cardboard / lolly stick - that sort of thing - something that won't scratch) behind the outer edge and prise it off its retaining clips. Be careful - you only want it to pop out gently.
Once you can see the works behind, its all fairly straightforward - four screws hold the motor in place, and the wires are already there.
Assembly is reversal of the pop out - i.e. make sure it "pops" back into the clips, otherwise it will dangle off by the wires "at the most inappropriate point".
More details in the Haynes manual - section 12.15 Body work and Fittings.
On the Back of the mirror in the middle is a big plastic ring that is a pressure fitting you should be able to just pop the old one out and put the new one in. If you have to replace the whole assembly it's easy if you look at the inside of the door rigth where the mirror is attached there is a triangle piece of plastic you can just pop that off and there will be three bolts in side to remove the mirror if you have there should be some foam protecting the electrical wires inside that just comes out. Good Luck.
you can find these on ebay very cheap, remove caps on interior, should just pop off, unbolt the mirror and pop off, make sure you undo the clip on for the cord first so you dont have the mirror dangling and scratch the paint.
