This DIY is fantastic! I just finished installing a new premium mirror with only a few hiccups. Thanks for posting.

1. For some reason, I had trouble disconnecting the mirror from the wires after I had easily twisted it off the assembly. You have tug it just a bit to expose the wire connector attached to the mirror itself. After that you can just pull them apart.

2. The straw technique worked perfectly!

3. Instead of a small screw driver to unlock the first connector, use a small knife. Mine was so snug I couldn't fit the screw driver in.

4. The second wire connector did not slide apart easily for me. There's a latch that holds it in place. You have to pull the black piece apart a little and then push the grey piece out from the back. There's a slot for a screw driver to push it out.

Thanks again for the instructions.
