The glass and carrier 'pop' out of the mirror by gently prying at it. The mirror itself is held in by studs/nuts. You need to remove the door panel to replace the ENTIRE mirror assembly, but not just for the glass and carrier.

What a beautiful write-up! The irony is that I just removed my door panel this morning... and I found this article five minutes ago :roll:

That article was written and compiled by one of our gearheads. It was part of Techinfo on the 'old' forum, and will be here as well.

Ironically, it replaces the old article written by our esteemed Site Owner and goddess, SSEi95. His article served us well for over 5 years.
