Can you hear anything coming from the mirror? Is only one working? If so, its possible that your mirror motor has died on you. If you're not hearing anything from both sides, I would check the fuse and voltage going to the fuse. If that's good then you could either check wiring from mirror motors to the module. I believe the controller is the general module located under the front passenger kick panel. Or you could also swap out the switch block for the mirror assembly as you could return that. Replacing the programming the GM will burn it to your vehicle.

How to replace door mirror glass on 2007 VW Golf Plus

It should just pop off if you get something in behind the acctual glass and gently lever it you dont need to get the rear casing off at all. If its heated the wiring will be simple bayonet connectors easy to take off/on. Gently push the new glass into position and readjust teh mirror from the cabin as it will have moved!
