    Anyone ever used Burco replacement mirror?
    How is this compared to Provia?

    I am not looking for anti-glare or anything fancy. Just something that I can replace the factory default mirror. I've read some past threads where the Provia mirror doesn't stick very well.

    Thanks, any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

    oh and how do I just use a screw driver to prop open the glass off the housing? Is there anything special I need to watch out for?

    What do you mean heating it up with a hair dryer?
    Heating it up helps remove the old mirror from the existing housing?
    or
    Heating it up helps put the new mirror stick stronger/better in place?

    the FSM says:
    MIRROR PLATE:
    1) remove rearview mirror.
    2) Warm around the mirror holder by hair dryer.
    3) Remove mirror plate while lifting the mirror holder using a flat bladed screwdriver.
    4) installation is in the reverse order of removal.
