Release the chrome window trim
Remove the upper window frame clips and Torx screws, then slide the chrome trim rearward and lift it away. Protect the glass and painted door edge while releasing the trim.
Remove and install the mirror
Unplug the mirror harness, remove its three mounting nuts, and lift the mirror away. Feed the replacement wiring through the opening, seat the mirror, tighten the nuts evenly to specification, and reconnect the plug.

Align and press the chrome trim into its clips, reinstall its fasteners, and reconnect the door panel wiring and handle cable. Refit the panel, screws, and trim, then test mirror movement and door operation.
