Exterior mirror cover (both upper and lower plastic plates) fell off. There was little/no damage, they just have horrible clips. Be sure to put a dab of silicone or other removable adhesive on yours. The top cover was $60 and the bottom ones (there may be 2, but Toyota's diagrams are confusing) looked similar in price. The top is needed so water does not enter some wiring harnesses in the mirror. Overall, this was a bummer and a hassle.
