Default How to replace interior rear view mirror

I'm about to buy an auto-dimming rearview mirror for my 2016 C7 to replace the standard mirror. I searched for a "How to" on this but came up empty. Does anyone have a step-by-step for this? Thanks!

Not a DIY but much info and I think a mention of a youtube video but I could be mistaken. You'll have to read the whole thing:

Thanks everyone for the links and PMs. I did the swap today and it took all of 5 minutes! I'll keep the non-dimming version around for awhile to make sure I like the new one.

Wow...I'm surprised it did not come with one.

Yeah, you'd think that something like this would come standard with all trim levels. One of the reasons I did the swap was because it was almost impossible to change the day/night modes without touching and activating the OnStar button. Terrible design.
