Removing the driver side mirror / bose speaker

Anyone have any idea how to get to the screws behind the driver side mirror? I assume you have to remove that bose speaker thing on there. Then there are some screws? Or do I have to remove the door panel first?

I finally found my rattle and it seems as though the driver mirror is loose.

Ok I figured out how to get the bose speaker off, that was easy, just pull

Then I took the screw out where the lock and handle is, then I found another screw and couldn't get it out

So I loosened the first bolt for the mirror it was TIGHT, so it's not a loose mirror. It's something with the mirror assembly. If I put a little pressue on the elbow of the mirror it doesn't rattle. LITTLE pressure is an understatement, a feather would stop the rattle!

I'll live with it until I get my new mats, I'll have to visit the dealer for that, so I'll have them look at it then, they might have to order a new mirror.

But anyway, the way they placed the bolts you can't get them out unless you remove the door panel
