Before starting, open the door of your Opel Astra. Begin by removing the inserts that cover the screws securing the door panel, using a thin but sturdy tool to pry them off. This will reveal the screws that hold the door panel, which you will need to unscrew and remove.

Once all screws are removed, you will free the door panel, which can then be taken off. Next, disconnect the rear electrical connector, then remove the covers from the bolts securing the mirror. At this point, unscrew and remove these bolts to take off the mirror itself, completing the removal.
