Steps
Remove the door panel
Disconnect the negative battery cable, release the lock knob and handle trim, and remove the panel fasteners. Lift the switch panel and unplug its connectors, release the panel clips, and carefully peel back the water shield.
Remove the old mirror
Release the mirror harness retainers and insulation, then unplug the electrical connector. Support the mirror from outside while removing its three mounting nuts and lift it away from the door.
Install the replacement mirror
Feed the new mirror harness through the opening and seat the assembly against the door. Start and tighten the three nuts evenly, restore the insulation, and secure the wiring retainers without pinching the cable.
Reinstall the panel and test
Reconnect the latch cables and switch wiring, restore the water shield, and press the panel clips into place. Reinstall trim and fasteners, reconnect the battery, and test mirror adjustment and lock operation.
