Does anyone know how to remove the glass from the driver side outside mirror--my dimming function has crapped out. The 2003 mirrors are different than 2004 and later and the glass is held on differently

Take heart pills and check pricing for (I think) part no A171 810 03 21 (plus suffix 029 for 2003).
For the tinted and auto-dimming (left) driver side mirror glass, that is.

There’s a document in WIS about changing the mirror glass.
