Question on outside mirror cover replacement

[youreekaa]

Hey everyone, I had the unfortunate luck of having a large branch fall on my car and damage the driver's side mirror assembly on my car. I got an insurance payout on it, so am pretty happy with the financials of the matter. I ordered a replacement mirror assembly (8476-0008 supersedes to 4291-9322) and glass (8499-8696). The mirror assembly comes unpainted and luckily the painted mirror cover from the broken mirror assembly is undamaged. I'm hoping someone here can help me understand the hows of pulling off the painted mirror cover from the old, broken assembly and putting it on to the new assembly. Has anyone done this before?

There isn't much to it. All the screws that hold it together are now exposed. Just take a look at it and it will be very obvious.

There is one screw that comes up from the bottom closer to the pillar, but the rest sit behind that mirror which is held in with pressure clips I believe. I broke one when I replaced my covers so be careful.
