Wing Mirror Glass removal.

Wing Mirror Glass removal.
Normally when you replace wing mirror glass you just put a lever behind the mirror and literally pry it out. Apparently that is not the case with Jag mirrors. You have to push the glass inwards nearest the door. Then grab the mirror at the other end and slide it off the catches.
Well I have levered, pried, sworn at it and it wont budge. Is there a secret or a method to doing this? Mind is on solid and I dont want to force it as it may crack the glass and that is an expensive replacement.
Anyone removed theirs?

If it's not broken, why do you want to remove it?

What I have been trying to do is the bit nearest the car I push forward as far as it will go towards the front of the car.
I then grab the end of the mirror and try and slide it out away from the car.
Having read that other topic about the damaged mirror it sounds like I should be doing the opposite.
Push the mirror bit nearest the car forward towards the front of the car.
Then on the other end I push it in towards the car then pull it outwards?
To dark out there to try it now.

Powerfold mirrors? If so, somewhat bizarely the problem could be in the Seat Module. A broken track.

As for being in the seat module I am going to take the drivers seat out soon. Is it under there? I am from uk so my drivers seat is on the right. When you say its a broken track you mean a seat track or some other sort?

The Seat Module is a rectangular gray plastic box bolted under the front seat. Both driver's and passenger's have them.
By 'track', I mean the narrow strips making connections on the circuit board. With continued flexing, these often crack. They can be repaired by flowing solder across the gap to remake the circuit.
