    I'm contemplating replacing myself a damaged Fender from my Prius v 2013.

    The biggest question that remains is how would I remove the window near the side mirror to reach those 2 connecting points?

    Did anybody has had a similar experience? I should be giving it a try myself anyway.

    In the Repair Manual (more info), see the topics under:
    • Vehicle Exterior: Window/Glass: Front Side Fix Window Glass
    • Vehicle Exterior: Exterior Panels/Trim: Front Bumper
    • Vehicle Exterior: Exterior Panels/Trim: Rocker Panel Moulding
    Several of these topics have links to other sections of the manual. The window assembly is shown as a non-reusable part, by the way.

    In the Collision Repair Manual, see Vehicle Exterior: Body Weld Point: Specified Torque: Components, which gives the torque specification (5.0 N·m) for the eight bolts that hold the fender in place.

    Those two points you are referring to are not bolted. They are more like locator studs.
    Once you get all the bolts out, slide fender forward till it pops off those two points.
