Manual mirror disassembly question

[CTScott]

What exactly are you trying to take apart? If it is to get the mirror glass off, you tilt the mirror up, get your fingers under the bottom, and pull straight out. Once you unclip the bottom, you lift up on the glass to release the top hooks. At that point you have full access to the internals and to the clips that hold the covers on.

I was able to do that already, thanks to your guide in another post.
I'm trying to take apart the base and the mechanisms (practically take everything apart).

i've removed all screws and T25 Torx (base), but the only thing hindering me from completing the process are the wires for the adjustment. i can't seem to find a way to remove them (without cutting them) and be able to put them back.

Sometimes those kind of mechanisms are built where they are not designed to be taken back apart.

same technique to remove the side mirror glass from the 2012 Yaris as well ?

Thanks Scott
