Default Sideview Mirror Repair
I had to repair the sideview mirror on my wife's 2007 ES350.
I found a YouTube video that showed a guy drilling a small hole and inserting a small piece of metal to keep the spring compressed after the washer failed to do its job.
I bought some marker flags from a hardware store to use for the small, strong piece of metal.
