To remove the external rear-view mirror, you first need to take off the door panel to access the screws securing the tweeter cover. Proceed by removing the door panel, taking out the switch panel and then the screws securing the panel; lever along the edges to release the clips and remove the panel itself.

At this point, unscrew the screws securing the tweeter cover, remove the sound-absorbing lining, and unscrew the screws securing the rear-view mirror to completely remove it from its housing.
