Using a plastic wedge, remove the window switch panel and disconnect its connectors. Unscrew the two exposed T30 Torx screws, then proceed to unscrew all the other bolts clearly indicated in the video that secure the door panel.

Take the plastic wedge and begin to pry around the panel until you can extract it, 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 bolts of the mirror and remove it. Proceed in reverse for reassembly. Goodbye!
