In the process of doing this now. I need help!

 

Pull up and push in

 

What do you mean pull up? There are 2 small screw looking things with balljoints on the ends that need to lock in at the same time as 2 other clips.

 

You put your hand on the under side of the mirror. Pull it up and push it in towards the door at the same time and the mirror will fold in.

 

I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I am talking about getting the thin mirror glass to snap back in to the assembly.

 

Probably easier to just disassemble the mirror and actually see what you're doing. Better than breaking something. Mirror has 3 screws to remove and 2 to disassemble. I'd go that route...

 

well, this is what it looks like if it helps at all

 

On my 03 with heated mirror. I just eye ball the pin/clip/bracket and push the glass into the housing. It's straight forward when you look at the two.

 

Doh! My bad! I was wayyyy off, haha.

 

"off topic"


gezzzz...how often do you miss the other hole that you don't see often, and the one that you don't need to aim?

kidding!!!

 

^^^^ lol - i was gonna tell him to just slide the top two clips up and snap the bottom two in place right after ur firs post... But u made me think he was talking about somethin else ahahaha oh well

 

OP has a 1998-2000 model which are different internally then the 2001+ models, also OP be careful pushing this so you dont do this







plate of the 2001+ model are below









difference in the internals, BLUE one is a 98-2000 model and BLACK one is a 2001+

 

Thanks Brian! Too late though...I cracked it = pissed.

My next question would be I am ordering a used complete mirror assembly off of a 2000 GS300 and the seller doesn't know if it's heated or not. Will the main, large plug still hook up to my Car if it's the non heated type? I believe I had the heated setup after looking over mine that I just broke.

 

yeah that sucks Rock, i was pissed also.....i had mine in and was like "Meh, i dont like that im gonna push it one more time" and then crack

all OEM mirrors are heated, you must be buying from some parts place.....

hit up Aliga, Chin, Or RGW LLC for a OEM one

 

Thanks bro. Already buying a used oem one from Aliga...he's a good guy. Thanks again for your help!
