I need to remove the interior door panel to get to the mirror connections. I have found (2) bolts. One in the recess of the armrest. The other inside the door handle. I stopped here because I was afraid, I'd break something looking for more bolts. It almost looks like the panel comes off in two pieces; one upper and one lower. So not sure what to do next.

I attached 3 pics.
1) shows where it looks like 2 pieces
If I could be so lucky!
2) the outside part of the panel where it still splits
3) just a view of the door panel

Sorry, Pic 1is sideways.

Ok, gotta say cars are sure not made like they used to be. Looks complicated. Also, mine is passenger door, so I'm looking at it at the opposite point of view. I believe I got it, though. Pic #2 has me a little confused. Does the plate on the arm rest have a center bolt? Then just pop it out with a pry bar?

Thank you so much for all of this! I really appreciate it. Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I work nights and just woke up
