Default Replacing the side mirror glass (6th GEN)

I would like to know how to remove and replace a cracked passenger side mirror (electric) on my 98 Accord LX coupe. A drunk fight happened to occur right next to my baby, and now her mirror is smashed. The housing is fine, I just need to find out how to replace the mirror itself.
I know it can't be hard to do, I just need to know where to start. I don't need to take off the entire housing, do I?

Also, where I can find just the mirror assembly, instead of replacing the entire housing?

I went to PepBoys and they helped me find just the glass with 3M tape on the back. It sticks onperfectly with no tools. You can even get the wide angle (euro) version.

As seen in the pic, it just pops off. It may feel like it'll break but it wont, it will pop off in one piece. To put it back just line up the male and female "sockets" between the mirror and housing and apply pressure til it pops in. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean, and I think its 30 or so at the dealer for the part

If it's only the glass broken,it just pops out. If you want to remove the whole mirror,you have to remove the inside door panel, remove the holding screws.
