Steps
Remove the door panel
Release the window-crank cover and remove its screw. Remove the door-pull screws and lift the panel away carefully, keeping its clips and trim together.
Remove the old mirror
Pull the mirror-base trim away and support the mirror from outside the door. Remove its retaining nuts and lift the mirror from the mounting opening.
Install the replacement mirror
Seat the replacement against the door and start each nut by hand. Tighten the nuts evenly without overtightening the door skin.
Reinstall and check
Refit the panel, pull trim, and window crank. Adjust the mirror and confirm it remains secure and gives a clear rearward view.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
