    Does anyone have a diagram for replacing a side mirror? I've read the threads about how to replace them, but if there was a cutaway view or diagram, it would sure make my job easier. I have a 2007 Prius, a replacement mirror, and the desire to fix it myself. I just do much better if I can visual the job at hand. Thanks for any help.:(

    Marnius'prius,

    I'm not sure if you are still in need of a side view mirror diagram but I found a simple from 2007 Toyota PRIUS 10622 87-01 Mirror Parts | Genuine OEM Toyota Parts:
