don't bother removing door panel. easier and quicker, to pull the cable ends off the pin fittings on the spade connectors, the white plastic 4 pin connector will not go through the metal hole with the spring attachment (main issue). push out the 4 pins in the plastic connector to release the old mirror or to feed through the tube hole. re-attach by either pushing back in connector or if too fiddley in first place, cut the wires clear of the connector and re-attach via a simple block connector.
did this last week. ps. know where i can find another drivers side late model mirror complete?
