Default How hard is it to replace driver side door mirror

Hi. My 3 year old son decided to swing in the door mirror like a monkey and now it's broken. I bought a used mirror (same color so don't need to pain). What are the steps in replacing it.

Thanks
Roman

Take off the little triangle on the inside and unscrew the 3 nuts holding it on. Simple.

Nope. If you have auto mirrors, you just unplug the connector running to it. If manual, then run the adjuster and wires through the mounting hole. Very simple installation.

Everything pretty much is that easy. Just need parts, tools and know what to do. Some things need special help to remove but it all comes apart.
