2024 Hybrid Limited Power Folding Mirrors Maintenance and Care Options?

Does anyone perform maintenance on the power folding mirrors, such as greasing the internals and similar. In Texas, the weather and temps change fast and I've noticed occasionally after a big temp swing or moisture event I will hear an occasional squeak coming from inside the housing. Usually goes away quick. Wondering if there is a simple way to maintain the pivot point or gears and prolong the lifespan of the mechanism. Thanks for any advice.

 

my passenger one started to squeak everytime it folded in a couple months back. Mentioned it to my SA during my last oil change tire rotation and they fixed it.

 

i mean you can but it's redundant in my opinion. i reside in southeast Texas btw.

 

Nothing wrong with my 23 TRD mirror in the Dallas area.

 

Looking at the out housing, it appears there is no easy way to take it off, so my first assumption is the entire unit has to be removed and disassembled.

 

Do you know what did they do to ix it? Mine has been squeaking since day 1 regardless of cold or hot. Thanks

 

The outer shell pops off, but I don't think it gives any access to the parts you mention wanting to lube. Going from memory, as we had one get bumped off by a tree limb on one of our fleet trucks, last year.

 

Just says cleaned and lubricated

 

I've owned 3 Tundras over the last 18 years. I have to fold my mirrors in to park in my garage. So, I've literally cycled the folding mirrors thousands of times without problems. I've never even considered any maintenance on them.

 

Thanks @Maine TRD PRO

Interesting that you have a 3rd Gen 8-Cylinder TRD PRO wooh wooh

 

yep, called them up and threatened a class action lawsuit or something so that they’d give me a v8. Got the recommendation from some 2nd gen folks who hang around the 3rd gen forum

 

8 cylinder oil = 8 quarts oil
