I would imagine you have to remove that outer plastic cover, possibly in order to gain access to that remove door panel. The mirror itself is held on by 3 nuts.

You could put the 98+ mirrors on. a new non power pair can run you $40 shipped.

Pics if you take it apart for others :superhack:

Yes you have to take the door panels off&like he said, three nuts probably need tightened

Would advise towards a clip panel tool. They're a real PITA and you don't wanna break half of them off if you don't have to.

A good idea would be adding lock washers and or some lock tight. Kept happening to me, but the lock washers took care of it.
