Help...How do you install a replacement passenger mirror?

My wife backed my car out and cracked the passenger mirror and blinker light. The actual mirror is fine, and still functions. I bought a replacement housing and signal from Acura. Does anyone know where to start to take the old one off and put on the new one.

Thanks,

Andrew

take the 4 screws off the door panel.... one of the outer edge by the jamb....2 behind a plate by the handle to open the door....one under the elbow rest.....then gently pull on the bottom of the panel and pop out all of the pins....then carefully take the wire thats behind the handle off if u break it....your shit out of luck and on a waiting list of 5 days to get the part....then unplug all the wires. take the plastic cover off the door that covers the 3 nuts for the mirror. unscrew them....unplug the mirror and swap.....put the whole thing backtogether in reverse....
