Dang Deer...
....So my wife is taking my oldest to school this morning in our 08 EB and a Deer decides to change ITS direction of travel and takes out the left front fender,left side mirror, and wheel opening trim....
My questions here are,..What has to be done to remove the left front inner door panel so that I can get to the mirror mounting bolts and is there aanything to be cautious of so that it doesn't break when pulling it apart???...
Insurance has already cut a check for nearly $2500.00 to repair it,but I need to get a mirror on it so that we can drive it safely until I can get it in the shop....

There is a push clip in the top corner of the sail panel. Careful here. Use your hands to pull the triangle portion of the door panel away from the metal door frame. If the clip won't come out slip a no-marring tool and pry the panel off. Then lift it up and over the black door lock ****. Then disconnect speaker wires and door lock/window switches.
