Has anyone successfully disassembled an early 240 power door mirror? Or at least removed the mirror glass? I've done this on later mirrors and didn't have issues, but this looks different.
Directions from the Greenbook below are pretty light, so I thought I would ask before I begin destroying a mirror. I have a mirror I can sacrifice if needed, but I would rather not ruin things. If it can be done without destroy parts it would be nice. This knowledge may come in handy later. Good mirrors will be rare someday and I'd like to see if a one can be repaired.
Directions:
1. Pry off mirror glass.
So I guess the glass is just glued on and it'll probably break when prying. But it seems to me it's sitting in a metal tray and that tray may get all bent out of shape from prying.
I leave it there for now. Maybe once the glass is removed, further disassembly might become more obvious.
