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

Model: Toyota Toyota Various
Part: Side mirror

Video tutorial

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.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
