Wingmirror glass replacement

[rmp]

I've got a convex glass replacement for my wingmirror. However, I can't see an easy way to remove the glass. Nothing to undo. Only option seems to be to use a flathead screwdriver and gently lever. Any ideas?

8) i have v8 '95 disco and to get the left mirror glass out all i had to do was sideswipe a railing in the carpark as i dodged a speed hump.
the actual glass and the plastic thing it is fitted into just pop off, although it is broken i still managed to pop it back in place by hooking the inner end in and useing a screwdriver to click the outer end in.
damm speed humps!
damm railings for elderly cits!
now where did you get the new glass from?

Defender glass is just stuck on

Levering is the only way Wear Safety Glasses and gloves :!: 8O

If you got the glass from OS check its the same size, I did the same but UK and US mirrors are smaller.

If it is correct size, where did you get it :?:

I also did the same. I purchased the new smaller Defender mirrors from LR Brisbane. Bonus is the curved mirrors are better, more stable at speed, and better vision. I did both sides.

Just been looking. I can't see it anywhere. The mirrors are NAS "left hand only". Just buy two. They go on the existing mirror arms.
Austral LR in Brisbane got one out of stock and the other bought in. Approx $120 each from memory. The arms are centrally mounted in the mirror case, and the mirrors are aerodynamically shaped, not slabs like the originals.
