Default Taking apart a side mirror?

Anyone taken apart a side mirror? Or have a exploded pic showing how it goes together? Some little ***** in my neighborhood either cannot aim his bb gun or is just a vandal. Woke up this morn to a cracked mirror. I stopped by the dealer on the way home and they had one for $50. It's the defrost on the black plastic backing. Looked like it had a loop on top and a hook on the bottom. I've seen the mirror comes off from the inside, but how do I disassemble it to swap out the lense.
I do not really want to buy a chinese repop off egay, even though the whole unit is actually cheaper than just the lense.

So I opted for the factory mirror, instead of the entire assem from china. I popped the old mirror off and installed the new one. Took a couple pics just in case you guys wanted to see what you're dealing with. Seems the mirror slides down and locks on the 4 posts on the mirror motor.

I will get around to doing this soon enough. When I couldn't drive I would sneak to a parking lot and do some urban offroading. Well I went through some narrow pillers and caught my pass. side mirror at a high rate of speed.
