    Damaged the passenger side mirror on my prius prime plus. Mirror and housing are actually fine. I can still adjust the tilt of the mirror electrically. It's the arm/mount that connects the mirror to the body that is damaged and needs to be replaced.

    Anyone know how to find that drawing and order the proper part? Anyone know how tough it will be to replace that myself?

    Thanks!

    Thanks! It looks like I would just need to pop off the interior door panel, loosen some nuts and replace.

    Is that an accurate assessment? What tools would I need to safely remove and replace the door panel.

    Sorry, I have never worked on Prime body or any car's mirror myself. Have replaced door handle on Sienna once, it took special star shaped screwdriver. Also, parts probably comes just primed. You still need to match the paint to the rest of body. I hope someone familiar with body work will chime in. Good luck.
