Super helpful! I'm so glad I found this video. Cracked my mirror backing into a spot when it hit a concrete pole, and initially tried putting on an adhesive glass because I thought it would be too complicated to remove the mirror myself. Well turns out that I didn't align the adhesive glass properly, which caused it to get caught in the mirror housing every time I tried to move it. Fast forward to me finding this video, and I followed your directions to a T and got my mirror out! It took me a whopping 2 minutes with a butter knife as my pry tool. Can't thank you enough!
Just used this to remove the broken mirror from my 2016 CRV. The replacement glass is on the way. I’ve never seen a clearer or easier to follow video related to repairing ANYTHING on a car. Thank you!
@@grampzquad - quick question if you have any advice or suggestions. I got the new mirror installed with no difficulty. The camera and motor work perfectly. But I now have a very slight wind whistle that wasn't there before. I've checked all the seals and compared them to the driver's side door. They seem to be in place correctly. I've checked the nuts and bolts on the new mirror and they're tight. Any ideas what I might have done wrong to create this whistle? Thanks!
A small Coulda/Shoulda/Woulda Critique, sir. Next time please include step-by-step REinstall of the mirror. So we viewers can witness any potential tough spots that may come about. Thank you for the video. It is very helpful & insigtful. Tip: I noticed you are working by yourself. If that was the reason for not including the reinstall footage because it might have been too cumbersome, then might I suggest getting a Go-Pro head mounted camera. It about the same size as a head-mounted flashlight. I believe GoPro has a camera that comes in eyeglass frames too.
I've got to replace the entire side mirror unit...daughter backed out of garage and totally smashed the plastic casing and broke the mirror. Do you have a video how to do that?? The auto store wants $1000 to make repair. Yikes...

Hell to the yeah, this vid was perfect, thank you.
This video was very helpful, thank you for posting! Watching it helped me replace the glass myself, was not as hard as I thought it would be!
Great video. Appreciate you posting it. I had to use a hair dryer to heat the lower brackets so they would fit on more easily. Thanks again.
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

Can the 2017 Honda CRV mirror caps work on the 2012 model ?

What’s the white piece called? I’m having a hard time finding it to replace. Someone stole my whole mirror 😢
I'm not sure of the technical name but I would call it the "mirror mounting plate". Some people are so rude! to seal a mirror! 🤬
What is the brand of the product?
I'm not sure. I just got it off ebay. FOR 12-16 HONDA CRV OE STYLE LEFT HEAT SIDE VIEW MIRROR GLASS LENS 76253T0AC01
I backed into a flag pole and broke mine. I ordered the whole arm and everything..all I needed was the mirror apparantely🙄
Sorry about that! How's the 🇺🇲 pole doing? 🤔
