Fixed, let’s see how long the JB weld holds. So far so good. Third try actually worked. I couldn’t glue it together then drill out the hole, it would just break again. So I had to take care not to fill the hole, using a small mail to clean it out as I went. Gonna try to get this guy to 3D print a few for me in case this one breaks again.

 

Gluing the piece is very difficult. If you have a 3D printer, you should be able to use the file I have to print a brand new one. PM me if you need it, not sure it’ll let me attach the file here…

Hi,
My rear vanity mirror latch broke. I just joined the forum and I’m not able to PM you? I would like the file to 3-D print this part. Is there any other way I could get it from you?

 

Could you take apart the non broken one and scan that piece then use that for a 3d printer?

 

Yes, I figured I would try to get the file and if not take apart the other side and bring it to a 3D printer shop along with the one for the front sunglasses holder latch. Thank you for replying.

 

Hi, I am interested in the 3d file. Please send or post on thingverse. Thank you

 

not at home right now. But you can download it from the Files section of the Facebook group “Lexus LS430 owner’s CLUB”

 

Strangely, the printed one didn’t work for my sunglasses holder. It’s a tiny bit not long enough to catch. Sometime I’ll have to extend the piece by a small amount. Or someone else can-all my stuff is fixed now so…
