my son busted driver's side mirror----where did they hide the bolts/fasteners to remove and replace this unit? thanks...bob

What year?

From '75 to '79, the chrome ones are attached with some allen screws behind the blank plastic cover plate. Remove the door panel, as the plate is slid into place and restrained by it. Unscrew the one or two screws, then pull the mirror out.

From '80 to '85, just unscrew the phillips screw, being careful not to lose the spring. The handle just pulls off, and the mirror assembly can be removed.

From '86 to '93, remove the door panel, then remove the cover plate with the rubber adjustment nub. Unscrew 2 screws, then remove the entire assembly.

They're underneath the little triangular plastic panel at the corner of the door. You don't have to take the door panel off to pry that piece out, but it sure helps (and avoids breakage). There are only three bolts that hold the thing on. Replacement is very straightforward. Take off the boot that passes through the little piece at the corner (unless it has power mirrors), and then pry the piece off carefully (after you get the panel off). Then replace the mirror and put it all back together. It really doesn't take as long as it sounds like it takes.
