The external rear view mirror was broken, and I found that I had the piece I needed to repair it.
The glass comes out by pushing down on it and pulling out the plastic retainer.
With the glass out, the broken socket could be replaced, and it has to be installed with the glass out so the socket can be held in place while the threads are started.
The glass is installed back in and the mirror is repaired!
