Toyota side mirror removal method: First, remove the door interior panel of the side mirror, then you will see the wiring harness connector that controls the side mirror. Gently press the clip on the wiring harness connector with your hand, unplug the wiring harness connector, then remove the external screw. At this point, all the screws securing the side mirror will have been removed, and finally, slowly take off the side mirror. The RAV4 is a compact SUV under Toyota, with body dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm.

I've always enjoyed DIY car repairs, and I've removed Toyota side mirrors a few times—it's quite fun. Side mirrors are usually mounted on the windshield, either with screws or adhesive. Step one: identify the mirror type. If it's screw-mounted, pry open the mirror cover to reveal a small screw inside. Then, use a Phillips screwdriver or a small wrench to slowly unscrew it. Remember to apply even pressure and avoid excessive force to prevent cracking the glass. Last time I removed one from a Toyota Corolla, it took me less than 10 minutes. It's best to disconnect the power before removal to avoid any risk of electrical short circuits. After removal, clean any leftover adhesive with alcohol—it wipes right off. It's not difficult; the key is to take your time and wear gloves for hand protection. Safety first—if you feel unsure, stop and check a video tutorial.

How many kilometers can a sedan tire run before replacement?

Rotating the tires once every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers can help ensure more even wear. If the vehicle experiences issues such as pulling to one side, a heavy steering wheel, or uneven tire wear on one side, these are signs that the owner should immediately perform a four-wheel alignment adjustment. Generally, tires have a service life of about 5 years or approximately 80,000 kilometers before they need replacement. The longer tires are used, the higher the risk of tread deformation or tire blowouts. To extend the lifespan of the tires, it is recommended to rotate their positions every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Typically, front tires wear out faster than rear tires, so rotating them ensures more uniform wear and prevents situations where the front tires are severely worn and unusable while the rear tires, though with deeper treads, are too old to be used.
