The front nut of the three is out in the open on the door frame. If you need to take the panel loose to get at them just remove the door handle with a T40 torx driver and lift up on the panel DO NOT pull straight out or you will break off the retaining tabs. You don't need to remove the panel completely to get at the mirror nuts. Whole job shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

If you do a how to search on line you can find all kinds of videos showing you how to do repairs. Like this one on handle removal. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+...102D20D4D8F10B6

I could cut the piece separate and get to the nuts but do not want to do that. I also cannot get the triangle out far away enough to access the nuts and remove them. Looks like i am looking at removing the handle(what size torx head???) and crank to pull off the entire panel Mike
