Default How do I replace the wing mirror unit?

Guys,

I can access the 3 bolts that hold the unit on the door but once those are removed I can not see the plug end for the wiring to connect to? I can't seem to pull on the wire that disapears further into the door panel for fear of snapping something and I dont fancy opening up the inner door card etc? Is there a simple way to gain access to the wires plug I need to disconnect the old one from to add the new unit? The option I though was to cut the wire and rewire each one back on but that would be a shame considering I have everything needed to simply plug and play but just can't see the pug?!! Help, please...

Thanks

You have to take off the door panel.....I did this before. It sucks so much work for some stupid wire connections. Door panel does come off easy!
