Default Replacing External Mirror glass? Just pull?

I called the dealer and they want $35 with tax for a new driver ext. mirror glass. Mine is delaminated. Do I basically just gently pry around the edges?

Default about five years ago I got one from the UK that had a wide view (not legal in the US)

I really love it as it covers the blind spot better

Default I wanted to go this route, but am having trouble finding one

Default PureMS has the driver's side blindspot mirror.....

But I haven't found a short one, yet. That's why I just bought the OEM driver's.<ul><li><a href="http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php?II=1040&amp;CA=562&amp;PA=1">96-99 Blind Spot Mirror</a></li></ul>
