I have a Saturn Ion coupe but this should apply to all models of Saturn Ion's with or without power mirrors.
1. Roll the window down. Take key out of ignition. Inside the door locate the plastic panel directly behind the mirror. With a small screw driver pry this panel GENTLY away from the door. If is not connected in any way to the main internal plastic door panel. It has three clips that fit into holes and is easily replaced once removed. Carefully remove the foam piece that is located in a large hole behind the now removed panel. If you have power mirrors locate the wire coming from the mirror there is a connector located along this wire. Unplug it and note how it goes back into the hole.
2. Locate 3 bolts. 2 are behind the panel you just removed and the third is higher up and to your right as you look at the large hole and inside the area where the door closes against the body. With a socket or hand wrench remove the nuts off the 3 studs. Support the old mirror during removal. Pull the old mirror away from the door and throw it out.
3. To install a new mirror first plug in the electrical connector and feed the wire down into the door cavity while bringing the 3 studs on the mirror into alignment with the holes in the door. Push the mirror all the way up against the door. Put the nuts on by hand while gently applying pressure toward the door on the mirror assembly. With the same wrench used to remove the nuts tighten them down on the studs but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Put foam piece back into hole in door and replace the plastic panel by aligning the clips into their holes and push it into place. Your done.
