When working on this step, hold onto the side mirror to prevent it from falling. It may be helpful to have someone assist you during this step.

Use needle nose pliers to grip the grommet (plastic anchor around the screw) and guide it through the hole to detach the side mirror from the car.

Make sure to clamp all four sides of the grommet simultaneously to guide it through the opening. Do not turn or remove the screw during this process.
