Pry the triangle off, just a flat tip screw driver it pops right off. Inside is 3 8mm nuts, undo those, unplug the harness and it will come off. I had to kinda of jiggle the connector for the harness free on mine. Hope this helps.

When you put it back on, don't over tighten the three bolts!

/\/\ a good hand-tight is enough.. they're just holding a mirror on. if they start to get loose, you'll notice in plenty of time :P

Back before I knew better, I actually went to the stealership for a replacement side mirror. Ran me about 85 bucks....

But I guess the thing that scares some people off from doing this is that they might crack something while taking the triangle off. Guess it's just practice.

Does this work on 2001 model? I need to replace the passenger side mirror - do I need to take off the whole panel or only the triangle inside? Anyone has pics of how to take off the panel, in case I need to do it? Thanks.

Yes, it should be exactly the same procedure.

Pop the triangle off, aka the sail panel, 3 bolts and a small connector you need to pull apart, mirror falls off. EASY. Same on all 7th gens, and prob other gens as well
