2006 Side View Towing Mirrors

[lionrampant]

I'm replacing the left side view mirror glass on my '06. I've got the old cracked mirror glass off. There is a circular object that seems to be needed to be attached to the new glass assembly. I don't want to pry it off and break it. Also had to use the springs from the old assembly as the new ones are bent in the wrong direction. Anybody else had to deal with this? Can you pass on your hard earned wisdom? Thanks, Ken
First image is old glass assembly, second is new, and third is the part on the truck.

Nothing to disassemble, just press it on and slide it sideways onto.
Motor must be in the most outward position for this.
I needed a prying tool against the mirror case to slide it onto the tabs.
Some WD40 on the tabs may help to put it on and evaporates afterwards.

Thanks Ozy, it went pretty smoothly after your hints. Just a little futzing around with positioning and it slid right in. A push from the inside out with a plastic pry tool and it snapped tight.
