Anyone know how to change the glass in the drivers rear view mirror?
 

Broke out the glass and low and behold there is another piece of glass behind it. I'm supposed to glue my new glass to the backing plate but nobody said anything about another glass.

Is the mirror is that pic your mirror before it broke? I don't have that thick rubber looking ring around my mirror, maybe the previous owner glued a second mirror over the original mirror from some strange reason??

That's the second piece of glass.
It's the heated mirror and I guess it uses two pieces of glass. I don't know what i'm supposed to do. I emailed the manufacturer of my mirror but haven't got a reply.

Installation Procedure

IMPORTANT
The mirror glass case is not the same for the right and left mirror. For ease of assembly of the mirror glass case place a little white lithium grease on the motor pivot and on the tip of the installed jackscrews.

1) The jackscrew springs must be positioned down compressing the fingers at the bottom of the jackscrews. Push to install the jackscrews into the mirror motor.

2) Rotate both jackscrews to position the ball flanges to be inline with the attaching hub. They will then be correctly positioned to the mirror glass case. (This is shown in the above graphic).
3) Connect the electrical connectors to the mirror glass case (heated mirror).
