Default Driver Side Mirror Glass

My glass is cracked but the housing is in good shape. My question is, does Toyota use the mirror on any other vehicles?

This is what you want....price may have gone up, as I used to eye the passenger side because my gel for the autodimming is messed up...dunno what other Toyota vehicles uses this glass, but I believe there are others...

I "almost" bought one! It was $186 and eBay 20% off...but I just couldn't do it.....I think the problem is, the list price is so high ($422), a salvage yard will still want a pretty penny, so this eBay might be worth it....

p.s. have these numbers shot up due to tariffs? I could have sworn it was in the $300's earlier this year.

If you look around ebay, you can find a good whole used mirror for less than that and just swap the glass over. Very simple job and there are a few write ups on here with pictures showing the entire process of disassembling these mirrors.

Saw the glass again for $188 this time yesterday on eBay, new OE. Too expensive for me and used will be the same (gel messed up for the auto dim)

I bought a replacement passenger side mirror for my passengers side from Amazon. It was not auto dimming. Worked great for the price. $17.00 vs $200-300 for a factory dimming mirror. Your call.

Amazon Amazon

The heated mirror would no longer function, right? I'd go the $188 and get a discount myself, but since it's just autodim, I continue to do nothing....

I don't recall the heating portion. Not sure if that is part of the mirror or the mounting base.
