You have to take off the interior plastic panel. There is a thread around here with instructions - https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-tutorial-library-21/door-panel-removal-14040/
Once the panel is off, the bolts are pretty easy to see. I havent taken it off myself, so Im not sure about the electrical connection, but it should also be pretty obvious.

Cool thanks...i looked for a thread about but didnt see one...i will check again. It looks "plug and play" so I think once I get the old one off it should be fairly easy! :)

The thread I linked in my post above gives some good info, as well as the panel removal tool you would use.
I have more detailed pics if you want, just let me know.
