How do you replace the side mirror on a 2016 Toyota Corolla?

My apartment has an incredibly narrow driveway, and I accidentally broke most of the passenger side mirror off my car while backing out. The new parts were delivered last night. How do I fix the side mirror on my Toyota Corolla?

Backing out of a tight driveway can be challenging, and mistakes happen! Fortunately, it’s easy to replace the side mirror on a 2016

.
First, you’ll need to remove any remaining pieces of the old mirror by:
  1. Rolling down the window.
  2. Removing the upper trim panel located on the passenger door behind where the mirror is mounted. The panel is typically secured using a retaining screw or clips.
  3. Disconnecting the electrical connector and removing the mounting screws used to mount the mirror.
  4. Pulling the old pieces out of the door.
Once the old mirror has been completely removed, you can install the new mirror by:
  1. Lining up the new mirror where the old one was mounted to ensure it’s the right fit.
  2. Using the mounting screws to attach the new mirror, and being careful not to overtighten them.
  3. Reconnecting the electrical connector.
  4. Reinstalling the upper trim panel.
Finally, if you want to offset the cost of the replacement mirror or just ensure you’re not overpaying for
