Do I need to remove the entire mirror assembly to install this?

You'll need to access the mirror housing, but this is typically a 10-minute job with basic hand tools. The glass itself clips into the existing factory mount—no drilling or welding involved.

Is this the upper or lower mirror glass?

This is the left upper lens. If your damage is on the lower section, you'll need a different part number. Verify which panel is cracked or missing before checkout.

Can I paint or tint this glass after it arrives?

The glass arrives unpainted. You can tint it, but painting glass requires specialized prep and adhesion—most shops recommend doing that work before installation to avoid damage to the mirror body underneath.
