Question How to install mirror into LH side mirror assembly?

1998 Grand Marquis. Left hand side mirror hit big plastic trash can in alley. Side assembly looks fine, but after a short drive, no mirror. Wife says it "just fell out". Could not find it at 1am in the street. Bought new mirror.

Is this too easy?
- does it just 'snap' into the housing?
- what about those two little metal fish hook looking wires?
- no glue?

I don't have a repair manual. It seems way too easy to just 'pop' it back in, like they told my wife at the parts dept.

That is how you do it. Line everything up and push it in until it locks in place.
