   On the inside of the car the cover by the controls for the mirror or blank plate on a car with electric mirrors in the bottom corner of the door should be able to pop of and then there are screws! Torx heads i believe!

   you need to take the door card off first.
   
   there are 2 torx bits - one on the dash board side of the door card and one in the grab handle. take them out then pull.
   
   take the inside base plate off the wing mirror (the thing that goes around the adjuster, just pull
   
   then take the three torx screws out whilst holding the mirror then it just pulles out.
   
   to take the glass out you need a thin flat headed screw driver. look inbetween the glass and the bottom of the wing mirror and you should see a wire. flick the wire off the runners and the glass will pull out.
   
   then spray away my friend

   Bit of a job - I did it for my mate though...
   
   Easy enough once you get started
