Default REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL DOWN?!? PICS !! **Help Please**








So my rearview mirror just suddenly fell down the other day. as per the pics it looks like the piece was just epoxyed into place and the heat must have broke the seal. I picked up the new pieces from Lexus and the guy had no clue just exactly what pieces I need. you can see the new piece next to the one that was epoxyed and those two lil circlular ***** & the spring. I have no idea how this goes together, does any one have a clue? does it need to be epoxyed?? any help and input would be AWESOME as I am driving around with a swinging rearview

Mine broke a few weeks ago. It was the white piece with the bearing [2] in it that broke. I bought new ones (comes in a pack of two) and fixed most of the problem. The metal housing [1] was broken. The little tab was "worn down". So I replaced that as well. Now my rear view mirror acts like, well, a rear view mirror.

Pictures and part numbers:



1: 87817-30030
2: 87808-24010
3: 87825-30020

If my pictures don't load, send me a PM. Also, UpstateLex, if you don't want me using your pictures, PM me so I can remove them.

That is till your giant RE AUDIO XXX sub gets installed

Buy the same glue sakataj bought, I had to use that stuff when I had my (2) 18's in a 15cuft enclosure in my old vehicle, damn mirror would always come off.

i just had this problem where i lose one of those bearings. I just went to the junkyard and broke a mirror of an old LS400 and took the bearing from that mirror because they're the exact same. the hardest part is to get it in the housing. get 2 pilers and guide it the hardware in. I hope this picture helps lolllll
