Steps
Remove the door panel
Pry off the mirror sail trim and door-handle covers, then remove the handle and pull screws. Release panel clips, lift the panel upward, and unplug the switch connector.
Remove the old mirror
Disconnect the mirror plug and remove its three mounting nuts while supporting it outside. Feed the harness through the door as the mirror comes free.
Install the replacement mirror
Feed the new harness through the opening and seat the mirror on the door. Tighten its mounting nuts evenly and reconnect the electrical plug.
Reinstall and test the panel
Reconnect the switch, align the panel with the window channel, and press its clips in place. Refit screws and trim, then test mirror and window operation.
