A great tip I saw in another video for this was to use a heat gun on the back of the plastic to make it easier to get the clips back onto the metal cross. Before I did that I was pressing with enough force I thought it might break; just went up and down over the two plastic clips 12 times quickly and it made all the difference!
w41duvernay did you ever find the back piece? my girlfriend has an 89 trans am and she lost the plastic back piece, the white plastic cross the back piece clips on to and the mirror as well. thanks!
Thanks for the great walkthru. My problem tho is I actually ended up breaking the piece behind the mirror that clips onto the motor. Its the piece that looks like a plus sign (+). Is there anyway I could just buy that piece separate. If so where would I get it?
J Robling my 1991 camaro was in a crash and the actual side mirror housing is gone. Theres nothing attached to the door. Can you tell me how I would put on a new one?
I got one from rock auto a driver side And it's to wide It's so close it's not even funny Tomm I'm gonna go out and file or sand the edge down 1mm Then I'm gonna glue it

Matteo Stabile I had the same issue and went to the junkyard to get it
mydogrush oh alright yea seems like thats the only option then 🙃
Matteo Stabile took me two junkyard to find it haha
Matteo Stabile did it today actually haha
Matteo Stabile just remember if you go that route that firebird and corvettes have them too as long as they're electric side mirrors
Quick question. Did you put the glass in with the dowels attached to the side mirror glass or to the motor?
The mirror will be attached to the plastic piece with the c clips and the motor has the dowel that they attach to

Do you have the part number for the mirror motor?
Thank you! This was very helpful with replacing the driver side mirror on my 1990 formula 350.
My rear view mirror is bad to not cracked just mold or something
I don't know if you can just change glass
Mine rattles. What could be the issue?
My driver side mirror on my 86 camaro is wiggling like crazy. My guess is that the 2 bolts are not connected.
I got one from rock auto a driver side
And it's to wide
It's so close it's not even funny
Tomm I'm gonna go out and file or sand the edge down 1mm
Then I'm gonna glue it
Mying not broken it’s just real loose
