first of all, i bought apc mirrors from the accorce coupe so if yours are for a sedan or a differnt type, they might be different.
first thing i did was go to teh car and roll down the two front windows. this makes teh install (especialyl if you are doing it all by yourself) easier.
then i removed the door panel. there are 5 screws. first screw is in the door handle cup. then there's a screw where the interior door handle is. remove that screw and the cover for the door handle. then there are 3 more screws. they are hidden under plastic decorative caps. just pop the caps open. there is a screw on the door panel on the side closest to the hindge and there is 2 more on the other side of the door panel. then you are gonna pull the door panel off. i grab from the bottom and pull. its held in by clips but you are gonna have to pull really hard. dont' be afraid. once the door panel is loose, disconnect the socket for the electronics like the window switch.
remove that lil triangle shaped decorative piece where the mirror bolts are. if you have a tweeeter there, remove that.
the mirror is held in by 3 10mm nuts. remove them and the mirror should come out. try to catch it. thats why you have the window open, so you can reach out and grab it.
disconnect the wiring for the old mirrors. you disconnect it last just incase you forget to catch it. the mirror will dangle by the wire. its bad for the wire but its better to have a lil safety blanket than to clean up a broken mirror.
so you got the old mirrors out.
