Hi,

1. remove the door paneling
2. remove the speaker behind the mirror (1)
3. disconnect speaker and mirror (1/4)
4. to untighten the three bolts (1)
5. remove the mirror

(sorry for my english!)

regards Centaurus

Hey Guy, where'd you get your mirrors from and how much?

Good luck with the self-install.
