Hi all. I've been searching for a very long time off and on looking at all different year toyota pickups and 4runners trying to find ANYONE with the same chrome power side mirrors as I have so that I can begin looking for replacements. Mine are broken internally and wobble very badly. Before I put any more effort than I already have into fixing them I would at least like to know maybe what they came off of.
My truck is a 1993 toyota pickup sr5 model. The mirrors are powered and the housing the glass sits in is entirely chrome unlike a lot of the others I see which have a black section around the glass. Maybe these were swapped from another model other than pickup or 4runner? Any ideas? Thanks!
a cheap fix to the wobble is to use some window weatherstripping with a "sticky" side and carefully insert it between the mirror head and the frame, with the sticky side attached to the mirror frame, not the head. allows the mirror to move when being adjusted, but doesn't vibrate/wobble.
the weatherstrip is about 1/2" wide, less than 1/8" thick, gray, comes in a roll, usually available at a hardware store. "frost king" is one brand.
Look at your Vin tag, expect that vehicles from the same assembly plant the same month give or take have the same mirrors..
It's worth noting the internals likely are the same it is chrome or black facing the driver. Take a few hours at the salvage yard and pull some apart to compare.
Alright thank you guys. I guess I've only been seeing 4runners and 4runner part outs in my area and they have different mirrors for sr5's vs the pickups. I will keep my out out for an sr5 pickup and hopefully snag some mirrors
