Removing the external rear-view mirror on the driver's side is straightforward and does not require removing the door panel; start by removing the triangular plastic cover located directly at the mirror by prying along the edges to release it and access the mirror's mounting nuts; using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the three nuts that secure the external rear-view mirror to the door pillar, disconnect the adjustment control connector, and complete the removal of the mirror.
