Replacing 2008 M35 Mirror

[Logan00]

I had someone clip my driver's side mirror so I am buying a used one off of ebay. Its in good condition and is the same color as my car, my question is can I swap the mirror myself or is it something I need to bring to a repair shop?

I would prefer to replace it myself, if possible, to save on costs. If I can, does anyone have instructions?

Thanks

You can do it yourself. Remove the door panel to disconnect the harness and its held in by 3 10mm nuts.

Never removed the door panel before, any assistance?

There's a cover behind the door handle, and a cover on the arm rest cubby hole. There's 2 10mm screws behind the armrest and one 10mm behind the door handle. After they're out, pry the door panel off. It's usually easiest from the bottom of the panel.

Perfect, thanks for your help

Just wanted to say thanks for the help, I was able to change the mirror. Was easier than I expected.

No problem, that's what I'm here for.
