Default Jaguar XKR wing mirror glass replace

Apologies if this has been posted many times before. Drivers side wing mirror started perishing, so bought another. Removing old was relatively simple, but when I went to install the new one - tragedy! I cracked it by applying too much pressure to the right hand side...
I have bought another..anyone got any tips before I go and do the same thing again?
best Andy

Be more careful? Maybe a lot of tape on it to spread out the force...

I use a body shop suction cup for such jobs.
