check the audio diy section where it shows how to install the door speaker. you will find how to remove the trim, screws, to remove the inner door panel.

then you will be able to access the fasteners holding the mirror.

btw, your will need to do a window reset after you unplug your switch. no biggie, just search how to do that too. GL!

Not sure if you found anything but i changed my mirrors to Carbon mirrors and it was really easy to get to the mirrors.

Start by grabbing the bottom of the inner plastic door piece and pull out. There are around 10 or so tabs that hold that piece on. I cant recall if both sides had screws that hold where the handle piece is.

Once that piece is off there are 3 screws behind the mirror just unscrew those and you are done...

Nissan really could have made it easier to get to the mirror by making little tabs to pull out on the triangle portion behind the mirror

Its all one piece and is the only thing on the inside/backside of the door... maybe that clears it up

Its probably the worst sound when you pull it off but its just the plastic tabs on the backside coming unclipped.

I would say if the OP has never done this then find a stereo shop and they can do it for you... Im more of DIY'er
