I suspect that's for the Automatic High Beam system, since I think the sensors above that are for rain detection.

I can't remember if I pulled that cover and normally would take a moment to do so just to pass along the information, but it's hotter than (your simile here) outside.

Ha, the hotnmess.
That makes sense; I do have the auto-beam function. The plastic trim is all one piece, wrapping nicely around it.

I gave it another shot and was scared I'd break it. If anyone has a way to open my kind of rear view mirror, please let me know. Thanks!

I was able to get it off! The way to do it was the split it open (left side, pull towards left, right side pull towards right…gentley). Voila, powered up and figured it out!
