I just did mine! No clip on this either! I have a 1992 Park Ave., now if yours is the same this is how --- push the elec. switch so the mirror will go all the way towards the car, get a flash light and set it up on a bar stool if you can and face it into the mirror housing, pull the mirror out alittle with one hand and on the inside you will see where it is attached in 3 places, now - not the center pivot put the other two attaching pivots have small springs on them, take a long small sturdy piece of wire, or equiv, and push the springs down ( towards the housing ), do this on both and if you can't just carefully pop the center pivot and then work the small springs down --- take a small pry bar, something thats about 1/2 inch wide, stick the pry bar into where the center pivot is and twist, you need to pop it out of the center, hold the mirror while you do this, not to much torque either - after you pop that it should come out - if the other pivots are still attached, work the small springs down more and carefully work them out,

install pivots with springs first, get them set -- then pop the larger center pivot into its place, DON'T USE TO MUCH FORCE BECAUSE YOU CAN BREAK THE MOTOR HOUSING THAT ATTACHES TO THE FRAME OF THE MIRROR --- make sure you have patience to do this, and don't do it on a bad day, take your time, study it closely, otherwise you'll be replacing the whole thing! If you get stuck in a jam - take a break - reread this if you have to and ask all the questions you need too! Godd luck! Rob
