    Not sure if this is proper place to post this, if not, I apologize.

    2019 Mack Anthem.

    Wanted to switch CB antenna out and like a moron didn't pay attention. When I unscrewed the antenna I also unscrewed the stub between it and the mirror.

    Now the piece that the stud attaches to inside the mirror body has fallen down inside the mirror body.

    Looks like I need to pop off the outer (forward facing) plastic cover to reattach everything but I can't figure out how it comes off and don't want to make matters worse.

    Anyone know how this comes apart? I tried Google and searching here but haven't found anything yet for this model.

    Pic below is the piece I (think) I need to remove to get it all put back together properly.

    What does the mirror side look like? If it’s anything like the trucklight version mounted on Freightliner SD models, you have to remove the glass by pivoting it to one side to get to a couple clips , take out the glassand you’ll see a couple screws and couple thumb clips to pop the front cover off.

    Thanks, I pivoted the mirror all the way out and while I can't figure out how it comes off (yet) I do see a few clips along the inside like you mentioned, which makes sense now since the plastic front and rear cover appear to be snapped together somehow.

    When I get some time later today I will take a closer look at getting the mirror itself off.
