Steps
- Isolate the battery and remove trim
Disconnect the negative battery cable and set it aside. Release the sail panel, switch panel, courtesy lamp, and access covers; remove the exposed screws and door-panel clips, then lift the panel and unplug its connectors.
- Remove the original mirror
Unplug the mirror harness and support the mirror from outside the door. Remove the three 10mm retaining nuts and lift the mirror away from the door opening.
- Mount the replacement mirror
Feed the new mirror harness through the door and seat the gasket evenly. Hold the mirror in place while starting its three nuts by hand, then tighten them securely and reconnect the harness.
- Refit the door panel
Route the switch and lamp wiring through the panel, align it with the window sill, and press its clips into place. Reconnect the switches and courtesy lamp, reinstall trim and screws, then reconnect the battery and check mirror operation.
