Passenger Side Auto Mirror -need help!

[Kevin Clinton]

Thanks for the response.

"Probably the easiest is just to find a local junkyard, ask if they
 have any 5000's, and pull one off ..."

Are you suggesting that I just swap out the whole mirror - (housing and all), or just take the innards from the 5000?

Assuming your suggesting I swap innards can you tell me how to take off the glass mirror to gain access to the mechanism.

Thanks

Kevin
