There's a triangle trim piece behind the mirror above the interior door panel. It's held on with clips, it just pops off. Unhook the electrical connector (if you have one) Remove the three 10mm bolts to remove the mirror.
Mine were replacement mirrors with black primer. So I used some leftover black paint on them so they would look a little better. I took them off a few years later when I changed to manual mirrors.
