Replacing mirror in 97 Stratus

I recently broke the driver's side power door mirror on my 97 Stratus.
(Don't ask how-stupid mistake!) I ordered a replacement on-line for a
fraction of the dealer cost and hope to replace it myself. It seems like it
would be easy, but the inside panel covering the mirror area doesn't want to
come off. Does anyone know if this is an easy task and if I need to take
the whole door panel off to get to the mirror screw/plug? If so, how do I
go about doing that? If it's not obvious already, I have VERY limited
knowledge with cars. Should I just take this to the dealer or body shop?

the whole panel has to come off and it's just a matter of removing screws then
pulling it off there are some under the speaker grill and there is 3 8mm nuts
that hold on the mirror assembly
