Exterior rear vision mirror problem?

[Trier]

G'day. Long story short, I need to replace the exterior driver's side mirror on the 2002 Camry. Bought the part from SuperCheap, googled some vids, and set to work very confidently. 

Got the old mirror off alright, but then I saw that the little cable from the mirror runs down inside the door. I had expected there'd be a plug coming up from somewhere close in the door, to plug into the mirror. But there's not. 

So, who knows? Do I have to take the inside door panel completely off? Or what?

Any tips much appreciated. Thanks.

You will need to remove the inside door panel.

Have a look at some more YouTube videos.

Thanks, Ashley. That's what I was afraid of. ☹️

Ah, well. 

Cheers.
