Question
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO REPLACE A SIDE VIEW POWER MIRROR ON A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA.

Answer
Franco,

The best way to accomplish this is to remove the door panel and that involves removing the screw under the door handle and the one at the front of the panel.  Then, get a panel removal tool or a putty knife and slide it in between the door panel and door and pry out until one clip at a time pops out.  You will need to start at the bottom of the door and slide the putty knife or panel removal tool close to each clip as not to damage the door panel.  If you do damage the door panel you will need to replace the clip or reinstall an old one that has popped off the panel.  Now, remove the cover inside that covers the bolts that hold the mirror on.  Follow the leads doen and unplug the mirror and then remove the nuts that hold the mirror on.  If memory serves me correctly these are ten millimeter.  Install the new mirror and then plug it in and tighten the bolts and replace the cover.  Now, install the door panel and screws and the scres covers and you should be done.
