How to remove the exterior mirror of a Toyota Rav 4? Follow the mirror removal process in the video: using a plastic lever, pry between the mirror frame and the glass. Pry until the exterior mirror detaches from the assembly; this operation is very delicate as the glass or the mirror itself may break.

Once the damaged glass is removed, disconnect the power connector for the glass, press on the locking clips to detach the mirror cover (if to be replaced). Replace the damaged part with the new one. Ensure the plastic clips snap into place on the mirror supports.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

Removing stickers or tags from your car's glass without damaging the windscreen has always been a problem. Especially if we attach it - as we should - at the top of the windscreen, where the "black dots" are, which is the unshielded part of the windscreen designed for this type of device, whether it be a toll tag, GoPro, cameras, or otherwise. We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces. You can find it on the ATG website or on Amazon.
