I'm assuming that to remove it I would have to remove the inside door panal and get at the screws and wires holding it up? But if I were to remove the inside door panal, would there be a chance of ripping apart of wire connection or something? This is regarding the driver side mirror. Hope you guys could help, thanks.

P.S: Links or the sort would be helpful too.

You will need to remove the panel. It's not that bad. You will probaby break the little plastic dish aroung the handle since it's a b1tch to get out(less than $10.00 I think). But there are no wires connected to the panel. A few bolts hold the mirror in place and a molded connector unplugs the mirror wiring harness.

No biggie....

Thanks. Sounds simple enough. It also looks that there may be two wires however... One for the door clearance light, and another for the window/door lock switches. Also, the bolts are underneath that triangular plastic covering i'm assuming? Thanks for helping me with this, I appreciate it.

yeah they are. once you remove the door, then another screw holds on the sail panel (see: "triangular plastic covering"). once you get that off you'll see the bolt and the wire going to the side view mirror. the plastic door handle pods are really cheap and tend to break, but they can be removed without breaking just keep wigglin them.
