3. Remove the 2 plastic caps at the "hinge end" by using a flat screwdriver or interior trim tool.
4. Remove the screws under the caps.
5. Remove the triangular plastic cover at the hinge end that covers the mirror bolts. Firm manual pressure is required to detach it.
6. Pop out the xxxx cover by wedging in a flat screwdriver and remove the xxxx behind the cover.

19. Seat the SAN HIMA towing mirror in place, and ensure that the rubber seal is flush and in position.
20. xxxx in the top bolt first (initially not too tight) then the others. Tighten all bolts.
21. Connect the mirror's electrical plug ends and check whether the electrical mirror buttons work. The larger top section of the mirror should move left/right/up/down as your stock mirror does.
