I dunno man, you definitely have to finagle the housing off/on, by tilting, turning, and moving the mirror (glass) itself. As far as your gap, maybe you haven't slid it on far enough pass that retainer clip. A flashlight helps to see what/where things are. Post some pics

i found it easier, follow others instructions in this thread about how to remove mirror cover, push tab up, maneuver mirror until you can pull casing off, then youll need to go inside, (ill post the PDF later), remove various screws holding door panel on, then youll need to get to the back of the window switch control module, the wiring harness to the mirrors plugs into the back of this, unplug it and then unscrew the mirror via 3 torx T15s (?) and pull out with wiring harness. Replace seal and reverse instructions

Mine are turning yellow and fading. I'm going to toss them out later on.

If anyone knows the cost on the > 03 oem's, I'll go that route.
If not, I'll just put back the old ones
