Using a plastic lever (not metal!) or a small flat screwdriver, pry out the mirror glass by levering all around. At this point, you do not necessarily need to disconnect the two electrical wires and completely remove the glass; you can simply rest it against the door and proceed to remove the cap. To do this, work with the small flat screwdriver on the three clips that secure it inside the mirror.

Similarly, to install the new cap, simply clip the aforementioned clips into place.
