Default Rear view mirror won’t stay tilted up?

2017 rx350. Can’t see the top half of the rear window out of it. If I tilt it all the way up it will just barely be enough, but it drops down by itself in a minute. Already have my seat as far down as it goes. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you need a new mirror.

I had the same problem, and the car is out of warranty. I ended up buying a new one on ebay for $800. Simple install with a "star shape" screw driver and the rest is plug and play.

$800? Yikes! These can be had for as little as $50 or even lower from junk yards.

Use this website to search local junk yards under "Mirror, Rear View": https://www.car-part.com/

Here is a rear view mirror for $75: https://imageappky.car-part.com/imag...ck%23%20BB2434



Hope this helps.
