How To Remove / Install / Replace a Rear View Mirror - Toyota

Easy Steps to Remove, Install or Replace a Rear View Mirror. This is a very easy project that most anybody can do. I preformed this project on a Toyota Camry. This same rear view mirror replacement project will work for most any make and model car or truck with a windshield mounted rear view mirror... although the method of attaching the mirror to the mounting plate will vary for different automobile manufacturers.

@@helpinguonline ...just a follow up...I went to Toyota dealership to order a replacement interior rear view mirror for my 2006 Tundra...the parts employee quoted two prices $1,000 and $150!!! I went to Amazon, ordered a $40 mirror, loosened set screw as you demonstrated, slid the new mirror onto the bracket, tightened the set screw and can see clearly now😅...

So helpful. Thank you. I bought the same mirror online (price up a few dollars) and though I have minimal mechanical skills, I was able to install in a few minutes. Thanks for saving me a ton of money.

[@freeosiris]

Thanks. I bought a rear mirrow for my Corolla 2011 and I didn't knew how to install it. 😅

[@helpinguonline]

Glad I could help

[@zahor0269]

This is great, think this would still work on a 2015 scion?

[@helpinguonline]

Your mirror is probably a little different. I think there is a clip that holds the mirror to the mounting plate. You just pry the clip down which will allow you to slide the mirror off the mounting plate. There are videos online that will show you how to do it.

[@1javixD]

😮 is the tan for day time? I never knew what the tab was for. I just assume it was for short people 😂

[@afridi6742]

Does this mirror fixes to Toyota corolla altis nd please share me the product link

[@gogiburn1]

does the newmirror distort the distance like the passenger mirrow does?or is as good as stock for distance of the car behind

[@helpinguonline]

There is no noticeable difference in viewing distances but the quality of this particular mirror (adjusting) is not as good as the original equipment.

[@Johnny42877]

1:04 anyone know the size for the screw?? Can’t find it anywhere online

[@rabbitdrink]

my civic has some kinda clip type mount instead of a plate and screw, i think i gotta pull it off and glue the metal button on

[@helpinguonline]

There should be a clip or release for that you shouldn’t have to break the mounting plate off the glass. I would check other KZbin videos for your specific car

[@gokur0cks]

Hey I have an 06 Corolla and got a new mirror from a junkyard car but the current broken one I have is still basically stick onto the backing plate even with the screw off, any tips?

[@helpinguonline]

Assuming you have the same rearview mirror on your Toyota… With the setscrew removed the rearview mirror should slide off of the mounting plate in an upward direction. If it is sticking… Make sure you are only trying to move the mounting bracket and not the plate that is glued to the windshield. It may take a little finesse and effort to get it off. Whatever you try… Be careful that you don’t also remove the mounting plate or worse than that crack the windshield. Let us know how it works out.

[@LibertyLinda]

My rv mirror fell up/off the plate. Got it back on using the set screw and it fell off again after three days. Can I glue the set screw in place? 2016 Soul

[@helpinguonline]

If you glue the set screw and need to remove it sometime you would have great trouble. You may want to try Threadlocker on the screw to keep it from vibrating out.

[@kornshadow097]

My mounting plates glue melted and fell off... Where do I get some proper glue or double sided tape that can stay attached to a hot windshield in AZ?

[@helpinguonline]

If you’re not sure what to get you can go to an auto parts store to buy the proper glue… Or online

[@derrerrrr]

my camry has the same exact problem
