Replacing Passenger Powered Mirror


So here's my problem. I was backing into our garage, and my parents pack it so full that there are boxes jutting out from the side of the garage past the edge of the garage door. I wanted to park as far away from my dad as possible, because he opens his door and it leaves dents and paint deposits on my door. I backed it up, and hit a cardboard box, and it broke the housing, and cracked my mirror all to hell.

My question is, how hard would it be to take off my existing mirror and swap it out with a replacement housing and mirror, it's a power mirror mind you, or should I just go to Pep Boys and buy the mirror/install from them?

If it's not too difficult, I'd like to do it myself. I looked on Pep Boys' website and their mirror for my car is almost 100 dollars, just for the housing and mirror.

I googled for replacement mirrors and found one for 60-something dollars, so I'd like to do it myself.

Any thoughts? Thanks guys.

That'd be great man. Also, what do you think about the price for the mirror I found on-line?

Thank again.
