[Shotimes] Side mirrors

I'm not sure what you have done as of now. You need to remove the 
mirrors (10mm bolts/nuts?) which are accessible by removing the 
interior sail panels. Once these 3 are removed, the mirror is attached 
by the wiring harness. This unplugs somewhere inside the door; if you 
want, you can cut the wires and splice and solder/heatshrink new wires 
in place when its time to reinstall the mirrors. The screws on the 
bottom of the mirror only hold the motor in place.

Once the glass and motor are out, you have to remove the studs that 
hold the housing to the plastic door trim piece that comes off with the 
mirror after removing those 10mm bolts. These can be removed easily 
with vise grips and a wrench to keep the whole thing from spinning 
around.

More complicated to explain than actually do. :)

PS. to remove the glass, pull it off of the motor (gently)
