Steps
Remove the door panel
Switch off the ignition and protect the door trim. Pry up the switch panel and unplug its connectors, remove the handle trim and exposed screws, then release the panel clips and lift the panel away.
Disconnect the mirror
Unplug the speaker lead and set the panel aside. Locate the mirror harness, release its connector lock, and disconnect it before loosening the mirror mounting nuts.
Remove and replace the mirror
Support the mirror from outside while removing its three mounting nuts. Lift the mirror away, guide the replacement into the opening, and start the nuts by hand before tightening them securely.
Reconnect and reassemble
Reconnect the mirror harness and speaker lead. Hang the door panel on the window ledge, press its clips home, reconnect the switches and lock wiring, and reinstall all trim and screws.
Test the mirror
Turn on the ignition and check mirror adjustment and any heating function equipped on the vehicle. Confirm the door trim is seated and no wiring is pinched.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
