Hi !, I just broke the rearview mirror in a small accident ( only the mirror not the whole asssembly ). My question is: Is easy to attach the replacement mirror or I need a special skills?
Thanks!

If your car has heated mirrors, it's much easier just to buy the whole assembly. If not, you can just glue the glass on with some Gorilla glue :mrgreen:

A set of Torx screwdrivers (cant remember the size for the mirrors), a flathead screwdriver to pry with.

If you happen to see anything else you want...a set of metric socket wrenches should get most everything.
