Help: Trying to change mirror signal indicator

Alright so my passenger side mirror indicator took a rock through it and now I am trying to change it. I have searched both this section and the regular E class section for directions on how to do this but haven't found any. I am hoping some can guide me in the right direction.

Thanks

Install is easy. I picked up a replacement at the dealer for just under 40 cad.

To install all you will need a flathead screadriver and set torx bits. Fold the mirror in and push the flathead screwdriver along the inside of the mirror cover right behind the indicator. The whole cover will come off, there are 3 screws holding the indicator.

Its about a 5 min job, and there is no need to remove the mirror glass.

5 minutes huh?

I love the time estimates given by non-certified "installers".

I should just start subbing out my work to these wiz kids!

You should look at the SDS and check out WIS for the proper procedure.

Well considering I've done it twice now. I think and both mirrors still function and the indicators function, I think I know what I am talking about.

So about you go **** on someone elses thread.
