Unscrew the three screws located above the handle, hidden by the plastic trim, using a T30 Torx wrench. Remove the mirror control panel and window switch by sliding it out of its housing and disconnect the attached wires.

Unscrew all the screws around the panel, starting by removing the speaker grille to access additional mounting screws. Unscrew the screws securing the pillar cover and remove it. Some screws are hidden under plastic caps that need to be removed using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the panel.

Pull the panel to release all the plastic clips. Carefully slide the panel upward to disengage other clips.

Disconnect the speaker wires. Gently peel back the protective film using a blade, trying not to damage the adhesive.

You now have access to the internal components.
