How do I replace the glass in my side mirror

Ok, so how do I replace the the mirror glass on my passenger side view mirror? I have taken the old broken mirror out which was double sided taped in there. But the new glass mirror that I got at Canadian Tire doesn't seem to fit around the black plastic trim. What am I doing wrong?

are you sure it's rubber not oil, cause in my car you can smell burnt oil after you accelerate from a stop. but the exhaust isn't blue like it's burning oil. Don't know where the smell is coming from

that's too bad I had an old set that I threw out cause I switched to disc brakes. All MX3 with drum rear brakes will have the same rear spindel but if you can't find any MX3 at the wreckers look for a ford escort with rear drum brakes around the same year. Pretty sure they are the same

Something similar has just happened to me as well. I noticed one day since it's gotten cold out that the rear end is solid. you can push down on the back of the car and it doesn't move at all.

Sounds like your valve seals are done if it only burns oil when you start it. This is because the seals are hard and will leak oil into the cylinder when it's not running and when you start it, it burns off all that oil when you start it. once the engine warms up the seals soften up from the heat. S...

I have a 93 MX3 RS with the 1.6L SOHC and I notice a similar problem. The car has high milage but doesn't seem to go through any oil. After the car is warm and I am stopped at a set of lights, I smell burning oil but only when I'm stoping and starting, not when I'm on the highway. There is no leaks ...

What is this 16g and tial wastegate that your talking about? This turbo only runs 4 psi is that sounds fairly low or is it? How do you increase the amount of PSI the turbo produces? What must be done to run higher boost pressure?
