Using a plastic wedge, remove the window control panel and disconnect its connectors. Unscrew the two torx t30 now uncovered, then proceed to unscrew all the other bolts well indicated in the video and that secure the door panel. Take back the plastic wedge and begin to pry into the slot surrounding the panel until it comes out, disconnecting the internal cables. At this point you can remove the plastic at the height of the mirror and inside the vehicle. Unscrew the internal mirror bolts and remove the mirror. Proceed backwards for reassembly. Bye!
