anyone can help me to check if your mirror has this gap too? i just replaced the puddle light and realized my mirror has this gap on the inside while i checked the whole mirror case should line up already with absolutely no gap and all the 5 screws were already securely tighten.
There should be no gap. I'm very familiar with these mirrors. You put them together wrong. you need to reassemble. i can tell 100% from your pics.
These require very careful reassembly or you'll get the gaps. they should require no fighting. if you do it right, they all slide together perfectly like a puzzle with minimal pressure/force.
just redone! spent another 30mins! one side was behaving, loosen 2 screws and i hear it snap back in position. the other one took me another 30 mins! the puddle light wasn't lining up correctly thus the gap.
THANKS! OCD CLEARED! Now im happy, thanks! all LED upgrades completed!.
haha nice. yeah you have to jiggle all the pieces together just right. it's sort of a weird little design with flimsy parts. the GS, LS, IS, RC, CT all share that same mirror. Lexus definitely milked the R&D costs for that particular mirror design.
Speaking of gaps, there was a lot of discussion about the Mercedes CLA door gap in various forums. This is not the only
Benz with the mighty gap. Here it is, in all its glory. https://www.mercedescla.org/threads/...door-gap.2763/
I know it's not directly related, but what is the bulb type/size for the puddle lights? I'm looking to upgrade mine to LED.
I purchased 2 packs of this to replace: 3 front map light, 3 back dome light, 2 vanity mirror light, 2 courtesy door light, 2 footwell light, 1 trunk light, and finally 2 puddle light.
