I just got broke my mirror off and got the replacement part, but I have no idea how to install it. Do I have to take the door panel off? Help!

The door panel has to come off to get at the nuts that hold it to the door.

There are screws in the door panel. Likely one where the door handle is, and potentially one more at least in where you "pull" the door from. After you're 100% sure the screws are all you, start pulling at and edge to pop the clips out. When you've got it mostly loose, you may have the unhook the rod that connects the door handle to the door lock. In fact, do this before doing the clips. My bad.

After that, just keep popping clips out and lift the door panel upwards and away from the door. Voila.
