My wife has a 2005 convertible limited that she clipped the plastic cover of the driver's side mirror, then I backed into with a chair to break the glass.  How tough is it to replace, I see no fasteners?

Whole deal, would be the preferred way to go, if managable.  I read your help to another fellow and it involved removing the interior door panel with a special tool.  If anything special is required, please direct me to a source.
 
Thans for your help.

    Thanks dude,
     
    Step one, remove side view mirror cover, seems kind of simplified.  Does it just clip on?  Where are the points I should focus pressure?
    What is the best tool, flat blade screwdriver?
