Does anyone know how these blind spot connections go back in the clip? I changed my mirror caps and on both sides these pulled out and Not sure if they clip in or how they go back exactly, picture for reference of what I’m talking about

Those look like Molex connectors. Are you able to get a more clear picture of the pins themselves?

There should be a white lock inside the connector that you're gonna have to remove to get the pins back in

Okay cool, I’ll have to look for that tomorrow, I didn’t see one inside the black housing they went into, but I also didn’t look close, so it prob is in there

How did you get them out to begin with? Push tab, or pull hard?

I was replacing mirror caps and apparently I pulled a bit to hard and one came out when the mirror pulled off. The black housing their in I opened that with a tab

Hopefully it didn't break the housing inside or bend the metal barbs/tangs on pins

It should be repairable. New pins can be crimped on if that's it otherwise a new housing unless it's molded INTO the mirror.

Going to add @Jimmy07 He might know the PN for that contact?

I doubt you damaged anything else. It looks like just one pin broke and the other one just pulled out.
