To remove the mirror completely from the car or just the cover from the mirror?

Cover off should be easy, have a look on the underside for a couple of screws (not 100 % about D3)

Mirrors off the car will be bolts from the inside of the door, behind the plastic panel.

On D2 you need the door trim panel partly or fully off as well, depending on the mirror type/connections and what you need to do.
Replacement (which I did) of a D2 S8 mirror definitely needs the panel off to get at some of the wiring.

The whole mirror.
I can take it back to the bench to do it in the warm and comfort.

The A4 mirrors is door card off, 2 bolts and one plug.

Need to remove the carrier and window frame assembly to remove a mirror.
That seems daft.
I'll leave that till I got another job needed for in there.
Possible when I do my handles.
