How to replace the side mirror glass
Hello, yesterday I received my Helix mirrors (blue, blind spot, polarized).
I was watching videos and looking a lot on the internet to know what was the correct procedure to remove the current mirror.
I thought I already knew how to do it perfectly with the help of a plastic stick and my hands.
After trying very carefully, taking it with my fingers, both mirrors broke when trying to remove them.
Fortunately, the new mirrors were placed perfectly, but I will not be able to change it for two reasons:
1) the OEMs are broken
2) surely when I try to remove the current ones, they will also break.
Does anyone know what is the correct procedure to remove the mirrors without breaking them?
I really feel useless for having broken the original mirrors...

I pressed the mirror in the side of the car body, and in the other end I put my fingers, I made strength and the glass broke.
In the other mirror, I pressed the top area and put my fingers in the bottom, pulling it out and it also broke ...
