    Step 5
    Peel back the plastic on the top left of the door to reveal two holes where you can see nuts which secure your mirror to the door. There are three nuts which need to be removed. Use an 11mm socket with an extension to remove the three nuts. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THEM INTO THE DOOR.

    Step 6
    Now that you have successfully removed your mirror you can put on your new mirror by putting the three nuts back on.
