Default How do you install side mirrors?

Is this hard to do? Just got a quote from the dealer. $112 for the mirror, $136 to install. Think I can install it myself but not sure how the inside mirror cover comes off. Do you have to remove the door panel?

Don't go to the damn dealer! $136 to install... fukking thieves!
It's a five minute job...

-Pull off the inside triangular cover straight towards you (clips on and off).
-Undo the 3 nuts that secure the mirror.
-Disconnect the wiring.

Done.

Very easy to do as Pascal said. I did it at a car show in 10 minutes to see how easy it was.

Another question...The mirror was busted off. So all I have is 3 busted wires. Think there is a clip available that I could splice to the wires and connect to the mirror? Or does the mirror come with wiring?
