Remove the gasket using the t20 wrench to remove two screws, then pulling the gasket upwards. Remove the mirror using a t2 (3 screws to unscrew) and extract it. Unscrew the door handle using a t20 (two screws to be removed). In the event that it is removed by removing the door panel on the driver's side, then it will also be necessary to remove the lock mechanism, using a t10 key. There are still some clips that hold the door panel in place, they are not a problem because they can be released manually. Manually unhook the panel and pull it upwards.
