Thank you so much, umbertob. The attachment for replacing the side view mirror helped me out. It's midnight and my garage is like a sauna in this hot summer night. For some reason, it seems the RR mirror detaches differently than most other cars. It requires a push and twist motion for removal. Getting the new mirror was a little bit tricky. I had to manhandle it so that it would attach in the places.
What a coincidence! I'm due for a brake pad replacement in my 08 RRS with similar mileage. I guess most of us do at our mileage. I forgot the quote I received from the dealership. Its actually my wifes vehicle so I tend to forget stuff about it. Ah! Who am I kidding? I wouldn't remember jack whether its mine or hers.
