Hi Chi (or is it Bill?) welcome to the forum.

Are we to assume you are talking about the GS450h? Have you tried searching YouTube, usually many helpful videos on many things like this request.

May one ask, why do you feel the need to 'clean the motor' ?

Hello Chi and welcome to the LOC.

What’s LED you to diagnosing the motor needs cleaning?

Hardest part is removing the mirror glass without damage replacement glass alone is several hundred pounds!)

The glass clips each side on the bottom and the top is hooked so basically to remove the glass you need to pull the glass away from the housing at the bottom then unhook from the top.

I found the safest way is to thread a cloth around the rear of the glass, bring the ends together in the front centre and give a tug.

Once the bottom is free unhook the top and remove.
