Hi,
The hard part is the bolts that are in there. Otherwise you just use a trim tool to CAREFULLY pop the edges out. I have included a link that has the description of the process and a few pictures.
Good Luck, Greg

Remove the inside door panel of your Chevy Cavalier. Remove the drivers side mirror wiring harness, if the mirror is electric. Remove the drivers side mirror retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new drivers side mirror.
open the very bottom door in the center panel. In the very back remove the two screws and pull out.
With a soldering iron?

AnswerIf I remember correctly, you must remove the inner door panel, disconnect the power connector and remove three retaining nuts. A very quick job. It is best to have a flat door panel removal tool to eliminate damage to the panel. That's correct,you have to remove the door panel,switches and unbolt the mirror from the inside of the vehicle.I've enclosed a hot to video that will walk you through the process and give you some great pointers.
Remove inside door panel, remove mirror assembly holding bolts, unplug electrical connection and reinstall.
just use a minus scre driver and slide thru the interior cover, it will snap off the body.
