I just purchased a new GM side mirror (factory painted) to replace the original one on my 07 coupe which was damaged. Is this something I can tackle or is this best to have the dealer or a body shop perform? I assume that I will have to remove the interior door pannel and have no idea how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
