Side mirror replace mirror or assembly

Some jabroni knocked mine off, couldn’t find the mirror on the ground. Are all the plastic doohickys in place to stick a new mirror on or do I need a whole new assembly?

 

Watch this a few times and see if you can tell if everything you need is still there.

Looks a little like your left-to-right adjusting pin is broken and gone.
You can see you still have the up and down pin.



What the mirror panel looks like.
The mirror 'snaps' in place in the middle, and the adjustment pins go into the little 'sockets'.

 

A good source for replacement.

Outside Mirrors for 2003 Toyota Tundra | Sparks Parts

Not sure if they made a double cab in 2003, but it would use a different mirror than a standard or access cab.

 

Based upon the condition of the internals of your side mirror and that you are in NH, my recommendation would be to just replace and get new ones. Make certain you select the defrost version and this is an opportunity to dechrome if that is your thing

 

motorcyclist? Did you deserve it?

j/k i’ve read that mid 00’s dodge mirrors fit close enough to count & fold out for tow mode in case you’re looking to suck dicks or tow a trailer.

 

The OEM glass comes with new standoffs, if I recall right? I replaced my glass after a drive by incident. Posted pics of the OEM instructions and helpful install instructions on here, two or three times. It’s a bit tedious, but fairly doable. Make sure you get the specific part number for your truck. My AC had heated mirrors, so I had to buy heated glass.

 

There was something I didn’t like the way Sue did it. I forget.

Sick, I'll take a chance on buying the glass then.
Thanks all

This whole thing might get me to check the heated mirror fuse. I've got the button but it doesn't light up. It's possible PO moved wires around inside so I never bothered looking into it

 

I don't see the wiring for heated mirrors.
If you pull the door panel and check the mirror plug and you'll see what's up.
R8 and R9 connectors, pin 2 power and pin 6 ground..
Surely if you have the switch, you'd have heated mirrors..

 

It’s entirely possible a previous owner replaced the glass with non heater, or replaced the housing entirely. Or maybe a fuse. Dunno!

 

Yeah…I was a little confused on the lack of wiring too. My whole truck is a work of “art”
Remember I’m the one with fog lights but the wrong turn stalk so…anything is possible

Love her tho

 

Dang this forum has been busy.
I replaced this but learned that when you order a mirror, you literally just get the mirror. No backing plate or anything, literally the reflective part and that’s it.

Ended up replacing the whole assembly as it was just easier.
Cheers all

 

Mine came with the full backing plate. It was OEM. I got it from the dealer. Others have done the same on here, and got the full glass, backing plate, etc. but maybe it’s because mine was heated? Edit: Nope. The one shown above also came with backing plate and standoffs, and it’s clearly the full mirror. Where the hell dis you buy yours?!

I want to say it was @des2mtn or maybe @RUSTYNUTS (pretty sure it was des) who showed how to heat the mirror glass to remove just the broken glass and slap new glass in. You can also buy more-convex (aftermarket) glass to swap in.
