How to remove the shell of the external rearview mirror of a Toyota.

Model: Toyota Toyota Various
Part: Side mirror

In this video, we can see the correct method for removing the cover of an external rearview mirror. In this case, it is a Toyota vehicle, but of course, this method works for any type of car. As the YouTuber shows us, the method is not to insert a screwdriver between the mirror glass and the body of the mirror and simply pry, because this way we would surely damage the glass. What we need to do is move the glass all the way to one side, in order to create as large a space as possible, and then push outward with the screwdriver on the plastic cover to release it from its housing. And there you have it.
