Safety glasses should be worn at all times while performing this procedure.
Step 1:
OEM upper glass uses a slotted design. Angle the upper glass up as far as it goes. Then, place thumbs on the bottom of the upper glass and push upward toward the top of the mirror.
Step 2:
Angle the upper glass down and slide the glass off the rest of the way.
Step 3:
Remove the signal on glass and defrost connections from the upper glass.
Step 4:
If the back of your upper glass looks like this, you’ve snapped off part of the OEM mount onto the back of your glass. This mount will need be removed and installed onto your mount before the new Boost Auto Parts glass can be installed.
