there will be a small triaglular panel in the furthest side of your door which despite it being hard to come off will clip off. try to take care while pulling this off as the pins can snap quite easily. then you will see the 2/3 bolts connecting the mirror. once you have undone these then unplug electrics which im presuming from age it has, and you will be ready to connect new one.

check for bad connections on the back of the PCB panel under the hood (left side) they are prone to corrosion

Watched my dad do it this afternoon. There is an exposed screw on the left side of the door panel and one at the bottom of the panel. There are also two hidden screws, one behind the door handle and one inside the little hole in the armrest (pop off the plastic plugs). There are also three recessed screws behind the speaker cover. You can pop the speaker cover off with a flathead screwdriver. I'm pretty sure thats all of them. You can pop the panel off then, but watch the wires connecting stuff inside. The hardest part is getting it over the door lock. .
Once the panel is loose you have to pop off the black plastic cover hiding the back of the mirror. There are three recessed bolts holding the mirror. My dad had to get a special wrench to get those off and he dropped one inside the door, so be careful (we fastened a magnet to a coat hanger and got it back). Mine had some remote gizmos, so he had to had to unplug the little square thing and then popped off what was left of the old mirror. If your new mirror has a wire with a little box, feed it through the hole and plug it in. Once you have it positioned correctly, you can screw on the bolts and put eveything back together. It helps to have another person there while you are trying to position the mirror correctly. Hope I didn't miss anything. Good luck!

thier really is no other option.. thier are plastic clips that hold the linkage together.. it's common for those to break.. so the panel has to come off.
Testimonial: "Thanks, Was hoping it might be an easy fix, Now to try and find some clips before taking the doors apart."
