Steps
Disconnect the battery and remove the door panel
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the speaker cover and door-panel screws, then lift the panel upward and release the latch cables. Set it aside without pulling on any remaining wiring.
Remove the original mirror
Peel back the weatherstrip and sound insulation enough to reach the mirror connector. Unplug the harness, remove the mirror's 8 mm mounting bolts, and lift the mirror out of the door.
Install the replacement mirror
Route the replacement harness through the opening and seat the mirror in its mount. Tighten its fasteners evenly, reconnect the harness, and secure the wiring clip to the door. Return the insulation and weatherstrip to place.
Reinstall the panel and test
Reconnect the latch cables and speaker lead, then hang the door panel on its upper edge and reinstall all screws and trim. Reconnect the battery and test the mirror, speaker, window, and door lock before closing the door.
