They mount by you just pulling the current mirror out of the socket where it mounts and then unclipping the heater cord, then clipping to the new mirror and pressing it in to the socket.

I wouldn't drive a Boxster without this blind spot coverage. And the nice thing about the Porsche asymmetric mirrors are they are completely stock looking and acting plus you get the wide angle coverage you need..
Mike, do you have a link for purchase of these mirrors.

Thanks, but what I'm looking for is a one piece convex, just like the passenger side mirror.
