I need help in replacing my driver side mirror on my 1990 corolla sedan. Have never replaced a mirror, but I am handy enouh -- have installed CD and fog lights. Any help is appreciated.

Manual or power?

If manual, unscrew the lever, pull it, pop the inside cover, undo three more bolts, pull, install new mirror, put things together in reverse.

If power, you may need to remove the inner trims to get at the power mirror connector. Then pop the cover and go as above. Remember to plug the mirror in before reinstalling the inner door panels.

Power mirror plugs are inside the door trim... but it is as simpla as popping off the inner triangular bit off the door, then undoing the three bolts and your done...
