Side Mirror Black Housing Replacement
I have a 98 T/A and a few nights ago someone decided to steal the passenger mirror to my car (just the glass mirror itself). I found another in a junkyard nearby and pulled the black housing out with the mirror (like in a LED mod tutorial I saw on here). I pulled the black housing in mine out and tried to put in the one with the mirror in but that light blue part in the center just won't clip in. I'm having to press so hard I'm afraid of breaking the mirror, and I can see from the empty housing that there are holes at that part which makes me think that the dealer has to pres these into the clip with a screwdriver and then glue the mirror on the black housing.
Do I have to pull off the mirror and reglue it or has anyone clipped it in with enough pressure with the glass still on?

I went back and finally was able to do it. It takes a lot of pressure and the first time I was worried about breaking the mirror while doing it. I would rather not have to pay $70 at the dealer for another lol
