    Any one know how to remove the plastic chrome covers on the mirrors.
    My CB antenna connector on the mirror fell inside and I need to get in there to fix it.
    I don't want to break the plastic.
    Thanks in advance....

    Here is a photo of the mirror.

    There is a reflector on it as opposed to a light. Your help will be appreciated.

    Sorry, your attachment is invalid.

    When you are adding a picture, you have to click "GO ADVANCED", this will open a reply window with more options. Scroll down till you find "Attachments" and click "Manage Attachments". This opens a new window. Near the top on the right hand side is a box marked, "Add Files". Click that. Then another little window opens up with a "Browse" button you can click. Then you locate your picture on your computer and up load it. It should attach it automatically to your reply.

    Yep, that's it.
    Ok, the yellow lens should pry out. Once it is off there are two or three torx head screws that hold the chrome cover on. Once it is off, you should be able to retrieve your cable.

    Unable get the reflector off. Was afraid it would break. I was able to move the mirror enough to get a long reach long nods pliers in to grab the cable and position it to the bracket.

    Thanks for you help
