I boiled by mirror housings for a little bit to soften the plastic, then pulled out the glass ones and inserted the convex ones while still plyable and formed them back into shape. Dip the housings back in the still hot water to loosen if needed. it was simple and effective.

I have a muz mirror.

To install, I just adjusted the old mirror so it points all the way into one corner..then ripped it off the plastic clips. Scraped some of the white goop from the old mirror and stuck it on the back of the new mirror. Then pushed the new mirror really hard into the housing until the plastic clips attached.

No, just use your fingers, pull slowly from the bottom.

As others have said the best guide is on the Muz site. If you do a search on here I believe there is a link to it. It took me about 30 minutes, so it wasn't bad at all.
