How do you remove the door panel

Hey guys, I was wondering if any one of you have installed a side mirror. I bought a new side mirror for the passenger's side since some F*@k ripped my mirror and vandalized it. I am trying to save money on labor since Nissan Dealer is a rip off. There isn't any screws or caps on the door panel, that I don't want to take the chance of trying something that I might break, to get the old mirror anchor out and install the new mirror and reconnect the wire. Anyone can give me an idea how?

I am pretty sure that you don't need to take the door panel off........

Hey guys, I just figure out how to remove the door panel. I picked up a body repair manual at a local auto store. That you have to remove a plug to unscrew the anchor. Then at the bottom of your interior door panel, you have to give it a tug until the fastner comes out. Then you remove the mirror cover interior to unbolt the mirror and disconnect the wiring. It's a lot easier than I expected. It took like 10 mins to do the job to replace a new mirror. Thank goodness I didn't go to Nissan to have the job done, that would cost you money for labor and wait two hours for it.
