Often times a side mirror cover is the only part of a side mirror assembly that gets damaged. You can get to four of the six tabs that hold the cover on by rotating the mirror and looking behind to the back of the housing. Remove the cover on the inside of the mirror. Side mirrors get banged up a lot.

I understood that a person should turn the mirror 90 degrees left or right and then pull down and the mirror would come off. Just wondering if someone could tell me an easy way to remove the rearview mirror on a 2002 tundra. Usually in parking lots or unfortunately in your own garage. Its purpose is to protect the wiring and other components from moisture and debris.

I used a flat screw driver to push up the four tabs that i could see to release them careful not to pry or put pressure on the glass mirror don t want to go down that road.
