It depends on what mirror you have

The paddle mirrors have 2 torx screws from the outside and one 8mm headed bolt from inside(under door panel)

If you have swing aways, they have 4 torx bots from the outsie

If you have the gooseneck mirrors, they have 5 torx bolts from the outside

For the swing aways and goosnecks, the nutserts sometimes come loose from the door and just sprin, then you need to pull the door panel and hold the nutsert with visegrips
