Steps
Remove the door panel
Switch off the ignition. Release the access covers and remove the exposed 10 mm bolts, then lift out the switch panel and unplug its harnesses. Free the handle bezel and panel clips, lift the panel off, and disconnect the courtesy light and interior cables.
Disconnect and remove the old mirror
Release the triangular mirror trim and unplug the mirror harness. Free the harness clips from the door, remove the three 10 mm mounting nuts, and release the weatherstrip tabs before guiding the mirror off the door.
Install the replacement mirror
Transfer the weatherstrip clips to the replacement mirror and feed its harness through the door. Seat the mirror in its opening, reinstall the three mounting nuts, secure the harness clips, and reconnect the electrical plug.
Reinstall the door panel and test
Refit the triangular mirror trim and reconnect the courtesy light and interior cables. Route the harnesses through the panel, align and press in the clips, reinstall the bolts and switch panel, then test mirror adjustment, locks, windows, and handle operation.
