if you're talking just about the mirror itself and not the housing for the side mirror, then all you need to do is pry it off from one side. You're going to have to give it a good pull to get it off.

now you tell me...

well then, remove the triangle cover from inside the car. This is the cover to the side mirror. There should be 3 bolts holding it in. If you are trying to remove the wires with it, then remove the cover for the door, unplug the side mirror wire and remove it through the base of the side mirror.

done.

SORRY, CAN'T HEAR YOU, WHAT?anyway, yeah taking the mirror off is easy, like 15 mins job tops. that includes:-removing door accessories (switches, lever, handle if passenger side)-removing the 1 screw that hold the door panel on-pulling the panel off-pulling back the plastic film and unclipping the mirror harness-pulling the triangle cover off-unscrewing the 3 mirror screws-and finally if replacing the whole thing, putting everything back on.

I've done this several times, when replacing my mirrors, updating stereo compnents and fixing then replacing the window regulator a few times
