The mirror needs to be removed from the inside of the car, the plastic molding that goes between the dash and the roof of the car needs to be removed, then you can remove the screws that hold it in, but if it is a power mirror, you will need to disconnect the wiring harness, the wiring harness should be nearby.
I just replaced my side mirror. After the bolts are removed you need to work it side to side. It has a tight seal. You also have to remove door panel to unplug the wire that works the mirror.

I replaced the drivers side mirror. On my car the drivers mirror was remote adjust and the passenger side was not. Open the door and look at it right above the mirror. There should be two screws. On the inside of the door there is a third screw going through the plastic trim panel. With these screws removed the mirror should pop out. It's been a while since I replaced my mirror. You may have to take that plastic panel off to finish removing the mirror. If it is a remote mirror you will have to take off that panel.
