Alright, I’ve got to replace the driver’s side mirror on my 1998 Saab 9000 CSE. I need some advice on how to proceed, removing the inside door panel, replacing the mirror. Essentially the whole process. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Typically there’ll be a pop-off plastic “garnish” on the inside to access the holding nuts. Once the nuts are off the mirror pulls straight out and unplugs. But I confess, I’ve never done a Saab.
