Yep, 1/4" bit usually does the trick. Careful though.

Mirrors are held on by two little nuts on the inside where the cable/wiring are next to the pillar.

Good Luck!

window shouldnt be in the way if it is rolled up. If it is an original door handle then they are correct above the rivets need to be drilled out. When you pulled the door panel off you should have pulled off the mirror cover on the inside which hides the bolts for the mirror.
