In this specific case for this type of vehicle, you will not need to open the door panel or remove it. To remove the screws that secure the wing mirror, simply rotate it clockwise to reveal two screws to unscrew. This will free the entire mirror from the screws holding it in place.

Once removed, extract it and disconnect the plugs at the back. You will have completed the replacement correctly.

Now, reinstall the new part by following the steps in reverse.
