Greetings everyone!

My Seat Ibiza 6J wing mirror got smashed so bad that I have to replace it. The wing mirrors are manually adjustable. Online I find only videos and instructions of replacing an electronically adjustable mirror, so I'm now asking for advice.

My problem is, how do I disconnect the broken mirror's cable from the adjustment joystick ,and how do I then connect the new mirror's cable? I have partially removed front door panel to get access to cable connection (see picture 1). Maybe I have to remove the screw (marked with red arrow) to proceed?

On the interior side, I removed plastic cover for joystick (picture 2), but seems that there's nothing to do on that side.

I would really appreciate any advice!

not sure about the manual but the automatic you need to fold it and unscrew the bolt on the outside, the bolt is only visible with the mirror folded.
