Is there a write up on how to replace the outside mirrors? I am not very mechanical, I was hoping for something with pictures. :)

My roommate broke it... so I am replacing both.
 






I just did one on my sport, but no pictures, it's really easy tho.

Undo the 2 screws by the handle.
remove handle surround
pry panel off (carefully, don't break poppers)
Slide the button panel out of the panel gently.
un clip wiring to the mirror control switch
take panel out of the way
you should now just have the handle with the window switches hanging down.

remove door speaker
undo the 3 bolts holding the mirror on
unplug the wiring to the mirror
remove mirror base entirely

refitting is the opposite to all you've just done

Si
