Ok as usual you guys are right on the money very easy job with your guidance. But as usual there is a hitch. No matter what I used (Even using hard plastic trim tools) the mirror clips wouldn't come out. All 6 mounts broke off the mirrors. I don't think it is a major deal epoxy should fix it. The mirrors look perfect from the front. Knowing this I think we should add 3 items to these steps:
1.) Wear eye protection(There is a very real possibility that the mirrors will break with this procedure)
2.) Wear thin Gloves("")
3.) There is a left and a right mirror(The drain hole goes at the bottom)
Hope this helps someone else out. Jason

Next time use some penetrating oil (WD40 or similar). Spray it on the clips that hold the mirror and it should help when they have to slide out. Too much friction is why they broke off.
Epoxy should do the job. Heck I used Elme's white glue to attach the mirror to the backing and that was 4 years ago.
