pull the door panel off from inside. There are two 7mm bolts that hold the mirror on. Unbolt them and take it off. Reverse process to take off. Its a good idea to replace the "mirror to door" gasket. They like to take in alot of wax and what not.....imo

ok first u have to take the door panels off from the inside. after u have that off look directly behind the mirror and u will find two little bolts im not sure what size they are but they are there then take those two bolts out and the mirror will easily come off. a little gasket like piece will come off with the mirror too. keep it u will need it to put the mirror back on.

yeah just remove the door panel, then put the window down and remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold it on, if you have power mirrors, theres a connector you have to unplug also.
