Removing side mirrors
Or does anyone how to do it? Do I have to take the car door apart and take off the mirror or do I just pop out the mirror somehow? Any help is appreciated...thanks!

Hold on! Do you want to take the whole thing off or just the glass part. You don't have to take the door apart if you only want the glass off.
It's held on by a kind of automotive putty. You warm up the mirror with a hair dryer or just leave the car out in the sun for a couple of hours. Power the mirror so it goes UP as far as it can. Grab the lower lip of the glass and gently pull and it will slowly come off. Once it detaches from the lower portion, lift up on the glass to unhook it from the top.

Pull on the rubber. The rubber and glass are one unit. Don't separate them. Pull nice and easy. Don't yank on it. The putty will give and it'll slowly come off. If you yank, you might break on of the little plastic prongs that hold the back of the mirror for the remote adjuster cable ends.
