First off..I suck at how-to-threads lol but on the inside there should be a cover..just pop that off with a flat head and then you should see a few nuts holding on the spoon mirror..Just undo those and pop off the mirrors and then you just throw on the stock ones, bolt them back on and pop the cover on and bam you're done.

Sorry if that was super lame. didn't know how else to explain it lol

On the inside of the doors, peel off the plastic cover thats sitting over the mirror. There's 3 8mm nuts holding them on. You're gonna have to peel back the door panel a lil bit to get to one of the nuts. You dont have to take the door panel completely off if you have a steady hand.

You dont have to pull the door panel back to do this, though it does make it easier for you to not drop one of the nuts.

I guess I should have edited my post.....

You dont have to peel back the door panel to get to the nut, but it makes it a hell of alot easier unless you have stick fingers.

just take off the plastic piece covering where the mirror. take off the 3 nuts and stick your hand behind the door panel if you can to undo the wireharness

thats really it. then put the new one on
