How to remove passenger side mirror from housing

[jack6111]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to remove the mirror from the passenger side mirror housing, on the 2012 Genesis R-spec. All the videos on Youtube say push to one side and pull out from the other side. That does not work on the R-spec. The mirror seems to beencased in a plastic cover inside the housing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank You

Welcome. Moving this into the first generation Genesis Sedan forum.

There’s a post somewhere in this forum showing instructions on replacing the gear in the mirror housing (for folding) which includes removing the glass. I followed it to a t and it worked. I remember having to pull off the glass so hard I thought it would break, but it didn’t.
