The passenger side mirror on my 2017 Chevy Cruze got destroyed and I'm trying to replace. The door panel needs to be removed in order to access the mounting bolts. I was able to locate two screws: one behind the door latch mechanism, the other on the bottom front radius of the door panel. I can get the bottom door panel loose, but it appears that i am missing another screw possibly by the door handle. However the door handle appears to be a solid hard plastic piece. Ive search YouTube and haven't found a video for the 2017'*. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi whyzgi70,

From your description it appears that you are trying to remove the door from both (hinge and strike) ends, is that correct?

yes, i can get the door panel loose from the bottom hinge side and around to the bottom strike side, but it feels like something is still holding by the interior door grab/handle. I cannot find a screw to remove, and i don't want to pull to hard a break something.

I think at this point you would lift the door panel straight up. Maybe rock it side-to-side along the way. I've never done a Cruze, but have done plenty of other GM.
