Howdy

Can anyone help me with how to get the back cover off the wing mirror?

I have been working at it with the taped screwdriver without success. I have checked the clip points on the replacement but can't get close to disengaging one of the clips.

Wife reversing + garage column = lots of lost time...

Thanks in advance!

My friend had something similar happen to his Lexus IS250. He had the mirror unit fixed/replaced and it never folded in symetrically with the other side since....

The only way I found is to pretty well destroy the old one to access the clips...

If anyone does find a better way then please post it here for future reference.

Some good information on this site for 150 prado.

Thanks Alan

You can't ask for more detail than that. The instructions do require the destruction of the cover (clips brake when taken off) so I don't feel too bad.

Awsome site.

Thanks again.
