    I have a 2011 freightliner coronado sd. I need to take off the mirror back covers to get to the ant. Stuff but I can't figure it out and I don't want to break them

    I'm not certain, but I think it's the mirror itself that is first removed which gives you access to more screws that you can unscrew. There should be a switch on the inner-side of the mirrors edge that you can flip-up to take the mirror right off. I'm just guessing, but I hope it helps...

    Look for a round plug in the cover somewhere, possibly black and on the bottom.
    Or... The mirror glass might pop off and the cover stays. I have a Columbia and different mirrors but have re done my coax as well. The mirror brackets are the same, just the housing is different.

    Are you redoing the coax? I can walk you through it if you like. You'll need a Torx screw driver #25 or 30 I think.

    If there are screws holding the cover from outside, they will be under a plastic plug.

    You will likely need to pull the inner door panel off. Are you prepared for that much work right now? It's going to take some time but will be worth it.

    they are putting double sided tape also on these covers so they are very hard to take off even after removing the screws ... a lot of time they break in the process
