Appreciate your help.

Thanks. Richard

That dependso on if the housing itself is broken then yes. If the face plate that is attached to the mirror itself is flapping around then maybe. If it is just the mirror, just go to your neighborhood auto glass shop and but a "Ready-Cut" mirror for a small amount of money. they come already cut to fit perfectly. As for removing the old glass, take a very small flat screw driver and pry the glass away from the face plate. Once completely cleaned out use the adhesive from the ready cut and place them on the face plate. Next press the new mirror onto the flace pate, being careful not to press to hard or it will snap it in half.

Running wires from external sensors is going to be a difficult job because you have to drop the headliner and the left A post cover for access to the wires. There are manuals available at auto parts stores that have diagrams, but you need to be sure that it covers the wiring for the new mirror.
