Remove the trim panel front door. Ref. to EXTERIOR/INTERIOR TRIM>DOOR TRIM>REMOVAL>FRONT DOOR .

Turn over the sealing cover door front.

CAUTION:

Carefully remove the butyl tape. Excessive force will easily break the front sealing cover.
If the front sealing cover gets broken, replace it with a new part.
Be careful not to allow the butyl tape to contact any trims and seats because the butyl tape, which has a strong adhesive force, is difficult to remove once it adhered.

Disconnect the outer mirror assembly connector.

Carefully remove and turn over the sealing cover door front within the area where the operation can be performed.
