outcome of the mirror-fix
My local auto glass guy came to my house, and put in a new (Burco) mirror for $35 bucks. I was so pleased by the response and value, he got a good tip!

Thanks everyone for the quick and smart responses! I have called a local auto glass shop and he is coming over to my house this afteroon to install a new mirror - for about $30.... I will report on the outcome.

Yikes - my wife popped the glass portion of her 89 FJ62's mirror out of the clamp that holds it into the mechanical positioner . I tried to press it in and broke it. Toyota parts tells me you can't just buy the glass but must replace the whole thing. At $340 bucks - even with my TLCA discount...
Shawn - thanks, you nailed it! I put a little Tri-Flo in 'em and then leaned on it and - presto - it worked. Now I have new sheepskin for the driver and passenger....

I must have had my '78 FJ too long (since new!)... I am trying to put on new seatcovers and can't figure out how to budge out the headrests.... is there a secret?
