INTERNALS for side mirrors

[harrisonmonroe]

I've searched. If I haven't searched adequately enough please don't respond. If you wish to be helpful it is MUCH appreciated, but I don't need to be told to use the search function because I have. Thanks.

I'm looking for the internal brackets and glass for the side mirrors. I bought replacements thinking I could just swap out the guts but they are not the same. My mirrors are painted which is why I want to keep the shell. Any ideas where I can get just the internals or "original" mirrors. I've tried a couple junkyards and toyota itself doesn't guarantee original manufacturing process.

AFAIK, the individual components of the mirror are not sold separately. You get the entire unit, or the gasket between the mirror and body, or just the glass, but nothing else is available:

Did you search?

Rather than trying to mix and match parts, it might be easier to have some quality pressure pack paints mixed to match your existing paint, then paint and clear coat what you have, assuming they are the same as OEM sans paint.

You can get quality, colour matched paints mixed then loaded into pressure pack cans.
Then clean, prep and prime correctly, then paint with several coats before clear coating.
For small parts like a side mirror, that is not directly up against an adjacent panel on the and plane, I would consider this as a solid option.

( two flat panels, side by side in the same plane, you'll see minor paint differences. Intersecting parts on different planes, it's much harder to see minor differences)



If people put the same effort into writing concise questing as they putting into saying "don't tell me to search" the former would negate the latter.

I recently replaced my DS mirror and the new one was white to match my '94. Not sure if that's the only color though.

he asks because he's not quite sure exactly what to search for in words and doesn't come up with what he is looking for and you respond with this? Way to bump up your post count Mr. Expert.

And this contributed what exactly?

The painted shell is removable, so if it is in good condition you can swap it over to a replacement.

In the classifieds section?

2nd Generation 4Runners share the same internals as our Land Cruisers. If you can't find a cruiser in the junkyard, try searching for runners with electric windows.
