Many thanks for this Rob. I've had to replace my door mirrors after the car was vandalised and your description for the back door works fine for the front door too. One point I noticed was that the plastic bits fixed to the metal frame which take the small screws retaining the trim panel to the door (two back and front and three at bottom on the front door) slide and it is possible to knock them out of place. So if you find the screws just spinning when you try to tighten them it may be that you have not stripped the thread in the plastic but that the plastic bits are not quite in position to take the screw. Irritatingly it is possible to unscrew the mirrors by just removing the triangular plastic trim piece above the main door trim but you will need to remove the whole trim to get to the plug and socket for the electrics even though it is tantalisingly close to the hole. As for removing the door handle on the front door I used a dinner knife which is flat and broad so tends not to damage the surround. For the front door starting at the back of the handle seemed to work best - the front seems to be tucked under the surround slightly.
