    Trouble is, if it is like most other cars, the electrical connector is inside the door panel so you will need to take it all off just to plug and unplug the connector.

    Do the Malibu and Aura use the exact same mirror as the G6?

        I can confirm this as I had to replace my mirrors on an 07 Sedan. I do not have any pictures but looking at the picture below I borrowed from "simplyred" in his how to remove door panel (which you should follow in order to get this done), 1 bolt is behind the rubber grommet to the side of the tweeter cover and 2 are behind the tweeter cover. You have to take off the door panel in order to get to them and to disconnect the power clips.

        TIP: when taking the nut off the bolt, it is useful to use a magnetic connection or you may risk dropping the nut into the door frame...

          Luckily, like every gm, taking the door panels off couldn't be easier.

                  Step 1
                  Roll the passenger side door window all the way down. Turn off the ignition and remove the keys.

                  Step 2
                  Gently pry the window control panel from the arm rest with the pry tool or screwdriver starting at the bottom of the panel. Flip it over and unplug all the wire harness outlets from it. Set the panel aside.

                  Step 3
                  Locate and remove the two panel door plugs near the arm rest concealing the two screws and remove the screws with the Phillips head screwdriver.

                  Step 4
                  Remove the door panel retainer plugs along the edge of the door by pressing in the middle of the plug to unlock it and removing the plug.

                  Step 5
                  Detach the mounting triangle from the upper inside door panel covering the side-view mirror.

                  Step 6
                  Remove the door panel by lifting outward and then upward. Disconnect the speaker wire harness from the underside of the door panel and set the door panel aside.

                  Step 7
                  Locate and disconnect the mirror wire harness.

                  Step 8
                  Pull back the foam insulation from the inside panel covering the side-view mirror.

                  Step 9
                  Unscrew the three mounting nuts from the mirror using the ratchet, extension and a socket. Do not drop the nuts into the door cavity.

                  Step 10
                  Pry the mirror gently away from the outside of the door.

                  Step 11
                  Install the new mirror and replace the mounting nuts on the mirror studs and tighten with the ratchet, socket, and extension. Plug the mirror wire harness back in. Replace the foam insulation. Replace the mounting triangle.

                  Step 12
                  Replace the door panel by reversing the procedure. Start by plugging in the speaker wire first.

                      In STEP 3 the screws are under the fake wood in the arm rest.
