HSE rear view mirror upgrade
Looking to add an HSE mirror to my wife's SE.
I saw on Landroversonly that it's possible, but the windshield mount needs to be swapped for a round BMW style.
Questions:
- any tips on removing the mount without damaging the windshield?
- does the new mount go exactly where the old mount was?
- what adhesive is best?
Thanks

For what it's worth, it's not a matter of HSE/non-HSE. But of package options that lower trim level could have. For instance, my 2005 SE has the climate package and lighting package; so I have rain sensing wipers, as well as the auto-dim mirror with homelink.

I just looked on my 05 parts car that has the same cheap mirror and the wires are there.
It looks like the auto light/auto windshield wiper harness is there. I bought a mirror that has the auto light module, so I also bought an auto light switch to see if I can get that working at the same time.
I'm going to try and do the swap this week, I will update when I'm done.
Unfortunately I broke one of the tabs on my donor mirror, so I will need to drill out the rivers and replace with something from the JY.
