If you want to take the door mirror off without cutting wires.

Drill a small holes in the plastic plug next to the shoulder and inline with each pin.

DONT DRILL THE PIN.

hold the pin (not the wire) with pliers (red in photo) while pushing a blunt object in the drilled hole and rotate the pin half a turn left and right.

Any Questions?
