how hard is it to replace driver whole mirror? also how to get the old broken one out.

Posted by: Quik LS

pop the interior panel off
pop the plastic liner covering the mirror mounting bolts off
disconnect the wiring
unbolt the mounting bolts (three of them)

Remove the door trim panel inside, then there are 3 nuts that hold the mirror on.
At least that's what the workshop manual says!

edit: d'oh, too slow

ok i just got my mirror in the mail and i need to know what does this mean if you click on the link above this post.

NOTE: Using a suitable tool, insert 2-3 mm (0.78-0.118 in) and rotate to disengage the snap feature.

i think i removed all screws but that NOTE is concerning me does it just pop off if i pull?
