Replacing driver side mirror?

How hard is this? I have two problems with it: there has been just enough vibration at speed to make it impossible to know what you are looking at. Just the mirror though, the housing seems fine. Now recently there has been a brown haze developing on it. Starting from the outside in. Not sure what that's about but it seems like a replacement is in order.... ?

It can be a DIY without removing the housing from the door. SM shows how.

The Mirror is EASY... the Door Panel is a PITA!

http://sm.gpona.com:9001/si/showDoc...47&pubObjSyskey=1711830&from=sm&cellId=150447

or search "outside mirror replacement"

Basically...

Lower Window...
Ensure door is "unlocked"...
Remove Door Lock Plunger surround...
Remove Upper Trim Benzel and Retainer(s) ...
Remove access covers by handle, then screws (2)...
Remove Speaker Grill and Speaker...
Remove Door Panel - clips, then lift.

You can now access the mirror mounts...

Disconnect electrical harness to mirror...
Remove 3 screws holding mirror.
Remove Mirror - route harness through hole.

Install in reverse.

That password provided for the SM.GPONA website is not working anymore. Wonder if that account got deleted. Anyway, my dad's 2004 SRX is experiencing the hazing over the driver's side mirror. it old him I'd fix it (I was looking for replacement assemblies) but if you can indeed just replace the glass part, that would be 1000x better for me (and cheaper).

Since I don't have the SM, I'm having a hard time figuring this out.

I found these on Amazon. Is this what I need? Or is this something different?

My dad's '04 SRX does have the defrosting mirror capability, so I would assume I would get the 2nd one? There seems to be a slight size difference.

Thanks in advance.
