First, remove the panel just below the armrest of the door that needs replacing. Use a plastic lever to unclip the clips at the back.

Now, unscrew the screws that secure the door panel. Once the screws are removed, you will also need to extract the triangular panel corresponding to the mirror.

Then, remove the door panel to access all the bolts securing the mirror. Disconnect the connectors from the wires coming from the mirror, unscrew the bolts, and remove the mirror.
