    Does anyone know how to remove the side mirror switch that controls the movement of both mirrors on a 2010? Do I need to pop the lower dash out?

    Thanks in advance!

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    This video should help. It will show you how to remove the lower part of the drivers side dash. Once it's pulled away partially, you can reach in and pop out the old mirror switch.

    Thank you very much for the video! I misspoke by saying the lower part of the dash. I actually need to access the mirror switch located above that. I'll follow the video and see if I can access the upper part. Thanks again!

    ^Yes that smaller upper piece pops out more easily. Just pull.
