How to remove the exterior mirror of an Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Side mirror

Before we can start, we will have to go and open the door of our Opel Astra. So let's start by removing the inserts covering the door panel fixing screws, using a thin but strong tool and prying. By doing so, we will have discovered the screws that secure the door panel, which we will have to unscrew and remove. Once we have removed all the screws, we will have freed the door panel, which we can remove. Once this is done, we will have to go to disconnect the rear electrical connector, and then remove the covers of the bolts that secure the mirror. At this point, we can go to unscrew and remove these bolts, and then remove the mirror itself, and we will have finished the disassembly.
