Hi, one of my wing mirrors was stolen last week and before I go to a repair centre, I'd like to know if they are easily replaceable by someone who doesn't know a lot about cars but has the replacement mirror? Purely as I don't really want to fork out a small fortune for an easy enough job. Thanks

This is a rather simple job and can be done by anybody.
Lower the window glass.
Remove the cover from inside.
Remove the screws holding the mirror.
Unplug the wire connectors.
Reverse removal procedure to install.
