Replacing Side Mirror Glass

Just received my Euro wide angle mirror glass. I know they are snap in (with electrical connectors for the heated ones). Does anyone have experience replacing their mirror glass? What is the best way to remove the existing ones. I don’t want to break them. Do I just pull firmly until they come off?

That should work. Thanks! I don’t have the “special tool”, but will give it a shot with what I have.

Plastic trim tool will work. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...ieces/phr-05s/

Thats what we use here for the euro blind spot mirrors.
