The 2018 RDX has a slightly different armrest on the door panel (compared to this car in the video) and the handle to grip the door slopes upward from the armrest towards the door release. This handle has a plastic front shell that is released beginning at the rear, look for a small slot to push and release the first small tab. Then work upwards to the door release. There are two fasteners behind the shell, 5/16" nutdriver or phillips. The mirror has a small lip on the rectangular shell. (top side) that inserts into the door frame. The lip keeps the mirror in place until you can get at least one nut fastened to keep the mirror from falling off. At $400 for a new replacement, I had someone hold on to the mirror while I replaced the three nuts. I wish they would add a 1/2" to one inch to some of the cables that have to be disconnected. It is nice to have someone hold the door panel and have two hands free to unlatch or reconnect the cables between the door panel and the door itself.
Hi I used this video to replace the mirror on my 2017 RDX. However, after a day, today, the driver side window is not winding down completely. Is there any reason ?

Yeah the 16 - 18 are the post refresh years. I had to have someone hold the mirror as well.

Hi! Thanks for the video.
But you replace the glass only without all of the plastic?
I use tape often to keep a scew on the end of a screwdriver or nut on a socket.
Do a video on the rdx
this is the rdx
